  • 1 medium onion
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 14 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Method

  • Wearing gloves, remove stems from peppers.
  • Remove seeds and membrane from sweet pepper and chop.
  • Peel and chop onion.
  • Peel garlic cloves and cut in half.
  • Combine all ingredients in a large pot and add enough water to cover.
  • Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until peppers and onions are soft, 15-20 minutes.
  • Place mixture in a blender and blend until smooth, 10-15 seconds.
  • Remove jars from oven and fill each with sauce, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  • Place a flat lid on each jar and tighten down with a ring.

  • Let stand 24 hours then check lids for a seal.
  • If unsealed, store in refrigerator.
