Ingredients

• 4 cups (diced) ripe tomatoes
• 2 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced
• 1 cup pineapple chunks
• 1 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients by dicing the tomatoes, peaches, pineapple, red onion, and red bell pepper. Finely chop the jalapeño peppers, grate the ginger, and mince the garlic.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the diced tomatoes, peaches, pineapple, red onion, and red bell pepper.

Step 3

Add the chopped jalapeño peppers, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pot.

Step 4

Pour in the apple cider vinegar and stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Step 5

Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 7

After 45 minutes, the mixture should have thickened to a sauce-like consistency. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to break down the fruits and vegetables to your desired texture.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or sugar if necessary.

Step 9

Let the sauce cool slightly, then transfer it to clean jars or containers.

Step 10

Store the fruited chili sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or process in a water bath canner for long-term storage.
