Ingredients 8 ingredients

  1. 8 quarts (950 ml) ripe tomatoes
  2. ½ cup (120 g) white granulated sugar
  3. 2 tablespoons dry mustard
  4. 1 tablespoon ground allspice
  5. 2 cups cider vinegar
  6. 3 tablespoons salt
  7. 1 tablespoon black pepper
  8. 1 teaspoon ground cloves

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Scald tomatoes, and press through a coarse sieve to remove seeds and skins. Let cool.
  2. Measure out 1 gallon (3.8 litres) of tomato pulp, and combine with the remaining ingredients. Let simmer slowly for 3 hours.
  3. Pour hot ketchup into hot sterilized 1-pint jars and seal. Process for 15 minutes in boiling water bath.
