Tomato Catsup
- 1 peck tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 1 Tbsp mace
- 1 Tbsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp cloves, powdered
- 1 Tbsp celery seed
- 1 Tsp cayenne
- 1/2 lb tin of mustard
- 1 pint strong vinegar
Make a small incision in each tomato. Put into an enameled saucepan and boil until soft and the pulp dissolved. Work through a colander and then through a hair sieve. Add the remaining ingredients and boil for 6 hours. Celery seed must be in a muslin bag. Stir occasionally for the first 5 hours and continuously at the last hour. Pour into a stone jar. Allow to stand in a cold place for 12-14 hours. When cool, add vinegar and remove the celery seed. Bottle, cork and seal. Keep in a dry, dark place.
