List of Ingredients

8 Quarts water
4 Pounds homegrown tomatoes -- chopped
1 Bunch celery -- chopped
8 green jalapeno peppers -- chopped
1 Cup vinegar
3 bay leaves
2 Tablespoons oregano
1 Large onion -- chopped
1 head garlic -- pressed
4 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons sugar



Recipe

In a large pot, combine all ingredients except the sugar, bring to a boil,
and cook at a steady boil for 2 hours.

Remove from heat and strain through a relatively fine mesh, making sure to
express all the liquid you can.

Discard the pulp, return the liquid to the pot, and boil for another couple
of hours, or until the liquid is reduced to
roughly three quarts. Add four tablespoons of sugar, remove from heat, stir,
and let cool.
