MAKING KETCHUP MATERIALS NEEDED : 10 Tomatos; ripe, quartered, with stem area removed 1 1/2 c Vinegar, white or cider 2 Garlic cloves; crushed 1 ts Peppercorns 1 ts Allspice, whole 1 ts Cloves, whole 1 Cinnamon stick 4 T Sugar, brown 3 T Sugar, white 1 ts Salt Puree tomato slices in food processor along with garlic. Over medium heat, bring to a boil and reduce to low heat. Add spices, sugars and salt. Simmer until the mixture has reduced to half of the original, about two hours. Cool off, strain through cheesecloth to remove any large foreign objects, like peppercorns, and put in tupperware containers or jars, and store refrigerated. Enjoy the tomato-y goodness! Variations on the theme can be completed with a Tablespoon of mustard, or a bit of horseradish. If you want to spice it up even more, add some jalapenos to the mixture, sliced, when you bring the ketchup to a boil. Leave them in for about half an hour. This is a good idea for those of us who might want a spicy edge on our ketchup.
