The only modification I made was simmering it longer to thicken the sauce, as I used it for making cocktail sauce.

I have always had to make trips to the store to buy chili sauce for my recipes, but this product is not only more affordable but also tastes delicious! I refrigerated it to let the flavors meld together, and it turned out to be a fantastic complement to my meatloaf. I only added a tablespoon and a half of sugar, and it was perfect.

I usually don't have chili sauce stocked, but I always have these ingredients at home. If I ever need chili sauce, I won't think twice about making this recipe again. I might reduce the amount of brown sugar next time, but overall, this is an excellent alternative to Heinz chili sauce.

This was excellent. I substituted allspice with onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder, and it turned out great.

Like others have mentioned, I enhanced the flavor by adding some spices such as garlic, onion, and chili powder.
