Ingredients

2 ½ cups salad oil
3 lb. diced yellow onion, unpeeled
9 ½ oz. garlic minced water pack
6 ½ oz. gingerroot
1 ¼ oz. dried red peppers
2 ½ cups white sherry
2 ½ cup white vinegar
3 cups ketchup
2 ½ cups white granulated sugar

  2. Pull away caps of peppers and discard water.

  3. In kettle, place oil, rehydrated chilies, onions, garlic and ginger. “Fry” ingredients over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender.
