3131.0. "Chili Sauce?" by TLE::EIKENBERRY (Don't confuse activity with productivity) Fri Jul 12 1991 15:38

  I was looking at a recipe for cooking green beans last night, and it 
calls for chili sauce.  Where would you find this in the supermarket?  I once
used Heinz Chili Sauce in a recipe, but that stuff doesn't seem to have
much "chili" in it.  I doubt they mean any kind of oriental chili sauce.
Any recommendations on brands?

	I've seen Chili Sauce around here that is essentially tabasco peppers steeped in vinegar and salt. (Used mostly for sprinkling on greens.) Could this be what they meant? Mike

	I have a recipe for spicy green beans which calls for chili sauce. I use oriental red chile sauce and it comes out great. In fact I always use the sauce/paste whenever a recipe calls for chili sauce -- it never occurred to me to use tabasco sauce! -- Nisha

	I have some Chili Paste at home - how does the paste compare to the sauce? Is the paste hotter than the sauce on a volume-by-volume comparison? --Sharon

	Actually, I think I have paste too. I personally like very hot food so when it says put in tablespoon of chili sauce I put in a tablespoon of this stuff. It doesn't seem to come out that incredibly hot but then again it could be just our dead taste buds that feel that way. The paste is red, thick, and you can see the seeds. It is not liquid enough to pour but not solid enough to stand a fork in. (If you would like I can look at the brand name tonight and let you know.) -- Nisha

3131.6	2 different things (your kind & mine)	GANTRY::HULL	EIS Delivery - Motown	`Sun Jul 21 1991 13:44`	16
	My mom and grandmother used to can homemade chili sauce every year - a day-long effort to cook down the tomatoes, etc. Chili Sauce in the midwest is really nothing more than a sweet, chunky sauce, kind of like ketchup but not pureed. Occaissionally they would actually puree a batch down to a smooth sauce and that was ketchup, but still 100X better than any commercial slop you can buy. I LOVE the stuff on my mom's genuine Cornish Pasties. I keep meaning to get the recipe from her one of these days before she gets too old or gets sick. Our chili sauce has tomatoes, sugar, and some other spices, but not a bit of hot flavoring at all. 'Chili' in this case is a misnomer. The Heinz brand is close in type to our homemade stuff.

	re: .6 There's also a chili sauce available in grocery stores called Homade Chili Sauce. It's in a little spherical jar, about 8 or 10 oz., and made by Sona & Hollen Foods in Los Almitos, Ca. Great on hot dogs, hamburgers, meatloaf, etc. It's probably similar to the sauce your mom and grandmother made. Steve
