  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      quarts        red ripe tomatoes -- chopped
   5                    large onions -- chopped
   4                    sweet red peppers -- chopped
   2      cups          cider vinegar
   1      cup           brown sugar
   1                    stick cinnamon -- broken up
   1      tablespoon    yellow mustard seed
   2      teaspoons     celery seed
   1 1/2  teaspoons     ground ginger
   1      teaspoon      ground nutmeg
   1      teaspoon      peppercorns

     Tie spices in a cheesecloth bag. Combine with all other ingredients in
a heavy, enameled kettle and stir. Bring the mixture quickly to a boil,
stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens, about 3 to
4 hours. Sauce should be thicker than ketchup, but not as thick as jam.
Monitor closely, stirring often, to prevent scorching. Pack hot in sterile
jars and process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Makes 5-6 pints.
