Tomato Catsup (very fine)
| To ½ bushel skinned Tomatoes, add 1 quart good vinegar 1 pound salt 1 pound black pepper (whole) 1 ounce African Cayenne pepper ¼ pound allspice (whole) 1 ounce cloves 3 small boxes mustard (use less if you do not wish it very hot) 4 cloves of garlic 6 onions (large) 1 pound brown sugar 1 pint peach leaves |
Boil this mass for 3 hours, stirring constantly to keep from burning. When cool, strain through a sieve and bottle for use. Vegetable coloring may be used if you wish it to remain a bright red. (A family recipe handed down for generations and very good, indeed).
