Tomatoes, Preserved

Cut the tomatoes into pieces, and simmer them gently over a slow fire till they are reduced to a pulp. Squeeze the juice from this pulp, boil it until it is as thick as cream, and then pour it into small bottles. Place these in a large boiler with cold water up to their necks. Bring the water to the boil, and let it boil for a quarter of an hour, then lift the bottles from the fire, and let them remain in the water till it is cold. Cork securely, and wax the corks. Store in a cool, dry place. Time to boil, a quarter of an hour.
