SC - Recipes for period Bear Meat to be used in

[Alderton, Philippa]

Greetings all,

I was requested by a couple of people to give my recipe for Catsup.  I 
finally found my Mom's recipe.  Please note that as she gave it to me, she 
stated that she always adjusted her seasoning's to what she liked at the time 
given the sweetness/juiceness of the Tomatoes being harvested.  So be Warned.

She uses the recipe found in Better Homes and Garden, New cookbook, 4th 
printing, 1981 Paper Back, Pg. 303.

Tomato Catsup

IN a small saucepan, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons whole cloves, 1 1/2 inches 
broken stick cinnamon, 1 teaspoon clerhy seed and 1 cup white vinegar.  
Cover, bring to a boil.  remove from hear; let stand.

Wash, core and quarter 8 lb. (25 medium) tomatoes into a large kettle.  Add 1 
medium onion, chopped, and 1/4 Teaspoon cayenne.  Put tomatoes through food 
mill or a coarse sieve.

Add 1 cup sugar to tomato juice.  Bring to boil, then simmer briskly 1 1/2 to 
2 hours, or till mixture is reduced by half (measure depth with ruler at 
start and at end).

Strain spiced vinegar mixture into tomato mixture' discard spices.  Add 4 
teaspoons salt.  Simmer about 30 minutes, or till of desired consistency.  
Stir often.

Fill in boiling water bath 5 minutes (count time after warm water boils).  
Makes 2 pints.

Hope this helps

Frederich.
