Tomato Catsup (II)

Mrs. George Simpson.

Take a bushel of nice ripe tomatoes, and split, and sprinkle with salt, and lay twenty-four hours; mash them up and run through a sieve so as to waste nothing but seed and skin, and season to taste with red pepper and cloves; boil until it begins to settle at the bottom of the kettle, then add one quart of vinegar, then bottle and seal up tight.
