Hey Listmates...I was sending this ketchup recipe to one person, but thought
it might be helpful to more than one.  My mom made this recipe for years when
I was a kid and now I'm taking up the tradition.  Only it's even more
convenient because this recipe is safe for me (no dairy, no gluten).  There's
also no corn.  It's mostly tomatoes and spices (just how ketchup should be!

Here goes:

-8 quarts of tomato juice (I buy canned tomatoes and put them in the blender)
-5 cups sugar
-1 cup vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar)
-2 tsp paprika
-one onion, chopped and tied in mesh bag (this floats around in the ketchup
while it's cooking
-7 tsp. salt

You should also add the following for each quart of tomato juice you decide to
mix up at one time:

-2 tsp ground mustard
-2 tsp cinnamon
-2 tsp cloves
-2 tsp allspice

Simmer all this yummy stuff together until it's the consistancy you desire.
I usually have it on whenever I'm home for 2-4 days.  It makes a wonderful
spicy tomato smell in the house and the resulting ketchup is good as a
barbeque sauce, too.

Good luck and enjoy!
