Sweet Green Tomato Ketchup

Ingredients

• 5 green tomatoes, chopped
• 1 white onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 0.5 cup pickling salt
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 10 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon dark corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 8 whole cloves

Steps

1. Layer tomatoes, onion, and bell peppers in a large bowl, seasoning each layer with pickling salt. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours.
2. Transfer vegetables to a colander; rinse off salt under running water. Transfer vegetables to a pot with a lid; stir in vinegar, brown sugar, white sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and whole cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are very soft, about 30 minutes. The tomatoes will start to turn pale.
3. Press vegetables through a sieve, being sure to remove and discard all of the cloves. Cool ketchup completely. Store in a bottle in the refrigerator.
