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.
