Recipe
Wash, core and quarter tomatoes. You do not have to peel them. Combine
tomatoes, onions, celery and peppers. Cook until soft, about 30
minutes. Press through a Foley food mill discarding seeds and skins.
Return tomato mixture to the stockpot.. Tie peppercorns in cheesecloth
bag; add remaining ingredients and cook slowly until mixture is
consistency of BBQ sauce, about 1-1/2 hours. Stir frequently to prevent
sticking. Ladle hot sauce into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch
headspace. Wipe rims. Cap and seal. Process in a water bath canner
for 20 minutes. Yields 9-10 pints.
