because I've just spent an hour wrecking the place trying to find this, I'm going to post it so I can always find it and maybe someone else can try it cause it is great!

12lb tomatoes
750ml brown vinegar
6oz salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cloves
2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoon white pepper
4lb sugar
8 apples (or 6 depending how juicy the tomatoes are)

boil together 3 hours, process, allow to cool and bottle it.

Actually I think I did this before and someone asked if it was a pasta sauce - it's not just great as a condiment but I have put it in a gravy and stews.


Anyone else have something I can use tomatoes with? I have heaps.

It sounds delicious but....12 lbs of tomatos, 4 lbs of sugar?

With these quantities, you could feed the poor of Calcutta AND New Delhi wih enough left over for Ethiopia.

Really....how much does it make?

I'll tell you in about three hours it's just on the stove now.

I did a half batch a couple weeks ago and it made about 5 litres.

In North America, we would call this a ketchup - to us tomato sauce is a pasta sauce.
It does sound great.

The cloves and brown vinegar sound intriguing.

Is brown vinegar what I call Malt Vinegar?
