Canned Sloppy Joe Sauce
After converting my frozen tomatoes into Tomato Juice I was ready to make some canned sloppy joe sauce.
|
20 Cups Tomato Juice
|
1 Pint Vinegar
|
|
6 Green Peppers, diced
|
3 Tbsp Salt
|
|
10 Onions, diced
|
1 tsp Ground Cloves
|
|
½ tsp Cinnamon
|
2 Cups Brown Sugar
|
Combine all ingredients (except sugar) in a large stock pot and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the brown sugar and cook for an additional hour or until thick. (At this point I used my immersion blender to blend up the peppers and onions a bit so it was more kid friendly).
Wash and sterilize pint jars.
Fill jars leaving 1 inch head space and wipe rims well. Secure lids and rings. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Makes approximately 15 pints.
To serve; brown 1 lb of ground beef and add 1 pint of Canned Sloppy Joe Sauce. Simmer until heated through.
*You can bottle Sloppy Joe’s WITH the meat if you use your pressure canner. Brown ground beef and add to prepared sauce as stated above. Process filled jars in a pressure canner at 15lbs for 75 minutes.
