The name of this tomato-based sauce belies its taste. There's not even a hint of spiciness here that someone might associate with "chili." Instead you get a sweet and sour sauce that's got more tang than ketchup, and more chunks. And what are those chunks? According to the label they're dehydrated onions, so that's exactly what we'll use in this formula. But be sure to get the kind that say dried "minced" onions, because dried "chopped" onions are too big. The recipe is a simple one since you just combine everything in a saucepan and simmer until done. And if you cruise down to the Tidbits at the bottom of this recipe, I'll show you a super-easy way to turn this saucy clone into a beautiful carbon copy of Heinz Seafood Cocktail Sauce.
1 cup tomato puree
1/3 cup light corn syrup

Love it. I used to "can" a different version, but lost the recipe. Nice to have a stovetop method easily made.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We love making "sloppy joes" using this sauce. My husband will eat no other! We grow our own tomatoes, so I can make my own tomato puree. HOWEVER, I am wondering if you forgot a little bit of spice, maybe a pinch of cloves or something like that. The label ingredients do have the word "spice" in them. What do you think?

I kind of felt that it's too much trouble to make something that you can buy for less money

Very close to the original. I made the cocktail sauce and no one could tell the difference.

My husband was just telling me last week that his mother used to buy this sauce, and he was remiscing on it. I was going to buy it. Why buy it when you can make it yourself and you can be assured all the ingredients are wholesome and that it is prepared in a clean environment!

I have used Heinz Chili Sauce in a few of my recipes and no one could tell the difference when I used this recipe instead. Wonderful.
