"This was passed down by my great grandma & before... We always enjoyed it with cold meats (ham & turkey especially), but also a treat served along side scalloped potatoes."

ingredients

12 large tomatoes, ripe
2 large onions
4 large sweet peppers, mixed colors
2 tablespoons salt
¹⁄₂ cup sugar, see below
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons cinnamon
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons cloves, ground
2 ¹⁄₂ cups vinegar

directions

Prepare tomatoes - wash and peel if desired.
Chop tomatoes, onions & peppers (seeds removed).
Pour into a large stock pot (do not use aluminum due to the high acid of the tomatoes),adding the remaining ingredients, mixing well.
Cook on medium low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 - 3.5 hours. The time will depend on how juicy your tomatoes are. It's 'done' when it has thickened but still retains some liquid.
*Use white or brown. The amount of sugar depends on how sweet you like it and how sweet your tomatoes are. If the tomatoes are a bit bitter, add more sugar. I usually use about 3/4 cups, mixing white & brown together.
Bottle into hot sterilized jars and seal.
The quantity will depend on how thick or juicy you prefer it. Makes about 4 pints.

Born and raised in Vermont, I now reside on the western border of Toronto, Ontario. It's beautiful here! With 5 children grown and gone, I have lots of time in my kitchen - just my husband & I to feed!! It keeps the neighbors happy as I'm constantly knocking at door's with a plate of goodies in hand! Previously a teacher of theraputic crafting & a chocolatier (Sweet Impressions in NB doing molds, carvings & individual chocolates), I am now designing needlework and loving it! I have a large cupboard of cookbooks, downsized when I moved into this condo (I did have an actual CLOSET of cookbooks!) I think nothing of curling up with a good cookbook read! My children enjoy the same and have large and varied collections of their own. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC10-NoPhoto-Participant.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/cws3.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
