->Tomato Ketchup 01 <-

33 lb (15 kg) tomatoes, slice (about 15 quarts)

1/2 cup (125 ml) salt

3/4 cup (175 ml) ground black pepper

1/3 cup (75 ml) cinnamon

2 tablespoons (30 ml) ground cloves)

1 tablespoon (15 ml) cayenne pepper

2/3 cup (150 ml) sugar

4 quarts (4 liters) vinegar

Stew the tomatoes in their own juices until soft and rub through

a fine sieve. Boil the pulp and juice down to the consistency of

apple butter, stirring steadily to prevent burning. Mix the spices

and sugar with the vinegar, and add to the tomatoes. Boil up twice,

then bottle. Process. Makes about 22 pints (11 liters).
