Don't have a recipe but here is the ingredient list from an ad. Gives you an idea of what it is. "Homade Chili Sauce - Use instead of ketchup - TEN 12oz Jars Yes...HOMADE...that's the brand name. Thick, Chunky and Sweet. Whoa, this is good "Stuff". You'll never use ketchup or...

How long did you cook them for? Once the leaves have been removed and eaten the fuzzy stuff on the heart can be removed with a spoon or a paring knife. I usually cook mine for about 45 minutes. Great with melted garlic butter.

Thanks for the welcome!:rolleyes:
