Heinz Chili Sauce Clone

We are home from our So Cal get-away (okay, it's been a week already... and I'm a bit behind on my blogging) but I just couldn't let the day go by without posting this amazing Heinz Chili Sauce clone from Coleen's Recipes

This clone recipe for Heinz chili sauce is so easy...takes everyday ingredients and is even tastier than the original!! Chili sauce was never a pantry staple for me; I always found it on my shopping list for holiday and special occasion recipes, like this shrimp cocktail (which calls for Heinz chili sauce). I will never buy commercial chili sauce again because this is so much better (and cheaper)!!!

Heinz Chili Sauce Clone

1 cup of tomato sauce

1/3 cup light corn syrup

¼ cup white vinegar

2 teaspoons dry onion flakes

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Whisk everything together and bring to a boil in a small saucepan with a heavy bottom. Turn heat down to a low simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes, depending on how fast you are simmering it (mine was done in 25 minutes). Watch it towards the end so it doesn't scorch.

Cool to room temperature, then cover and chill.

NOTE: I made this recipe, exactly as it is stated above, I don't know how it would effect the final results if you use fresh onions.
