- 13 lbs ripe tomatoes (scald and skin)
- 2 c ground green pepper
- 4 c ground onions

- 1/2 c canning salt
- 1 pint apple cider vinegar
- 3 tsp cinnamon

- 2 tsp allspice

- red food coloring
Simmer on low until desired thickness (about 3 hours).
Put in sterile bottles and process in steam for 15 minutes.
Grandma Johnson used to make this all the time and it’s one of Dad’s ultimate favorites. He used to ask for jars of it for his birthday or Christmas. He would guard the jars w/ his life and rationed it out. Whenever he shared with us kids, he would make sure that we knew how good this stuff was and that we should appreciate it. He uses it on everything from tacos to eggs.
