I made some changes so i can't give stars. If i threw caution to the wind it would get 5 stars. I had grandma's recipe just ingredents no directions. Yours was close. I had to make changes hence no stars. I olny had a colander of tomatoes so i added a can of diced tomatoes with with green chilis. I didn't use the celery. No allspice or cloves. I used plum tomatoes. There was a lot of liquid so i cooked it down on the stove (slow simmer), for about 3 1/2 hrs. All and all very close to grandma's, which is a great complament in & of itself. I will not process just put in a big jar and store in the refidge cause it won't last long. Thanks for the post.

When you say stock of celery, do you mean the whole stock (many ribs)or one rob or as in the recipe (one) stock or rob there is quite a difference. Many recipes they say stock when they really mean RIB
