Tomato Catsup Myra’s Recipe

Cook one gallon of choice ripe tomatoes, strain them and cook again until they become quite thick; about 15 minutes before taking up. Put in to them a small level teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, one tablespoon of mustard seed. Half tablespoon whole cloves, one tablespoon whole all spice, all tied up thin muslin bag. At the same time add one heaping tablespoon of sugar, and one teacup of best vinegar and salt to suit the tart, seal up air tight in bottles or jugs. This is a variable Southern recipe.
