Homemade Ketchup






4 quarts ripe tomatoes
4 medium apples
3 medium onions
2 cups sugar
1 pint vinegar
2 Tbsp, salt
1 Tbsp pickling spice

Tie pickling spice into cloth and boil with sugar salt and vinegar. In a separate pot boil peeled and deseeded tomatoes, apples and onions until soft. Run through food mill or colander to puree. To the tomato puree add the vinegar solution and simmer for at least 2 hours on low to reduce to desired thickness.

Pour hot ketchup into hot jars and seal. Hot water bath pints for 35 minutes and quarts for 45 minutes.
Makes approximately 5 quarts.
