Tomato Catsup
For four or five quarts of catsup, boil one peck of ripe tomatoes fifteen minutes, without removing the skins, and strain through a sieve; put into a little bag one teaspoonful of whole cloves, one tablespoonful of ground cinnamon, allspice and black pepper, and put these with a pint of good vinegar into the strained tomatoes, and boil the whole carefully from three to five hours; when sufficiently boiled and condensed, stir in one tablespoonful of ground mustard and one teaspoonful of ground cayenne pepper, salt to taste, and keep in well-corked bottles.
