Sorry for the delay - don't check this e-mail at home and I was off yesterday. Recipe is just this simple. I put tomatoes (mostly homegrown), cilantro, garlic, salt, cracked (not ground) black pepper, sugar, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and chiles in a BIG pot and cook for a couple of hours. I don't use exact measurements and I slip in as many chiles as I can until wife makes me stop (she's my taste tester). I can this in normal fashion (pint jars and boiling bath). No two batches are the same but nobody's complaining!!! I can put up 12 or more pints in an afternoon and it's fairly simple in my opinion - of course I know the benefits and enjoyment I'm gonna get!!! Robert (can I go lurk now???
