Recipe
Clean and quarter tomatoes. Place in 8 quart pot with onion, celery, and green pepper. Bring to a boil, and simmer until ingredients are soft, about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool.
Meanwhile, place cinnamon, garlic, bay leaf and cloves in a cheesecloth bag. Simmer in the vinegar, in tightly covered saucepan for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, discard the bag.
When tomatoes have cooled, pass through a food mill or puree in a food processor.
Add the spiced vinegar and rub through a sieve.
Return to high heat. Add paprika, cayenne pepper and salt. Mix well. Boil rapidly to reduce, stirring, about ten minutes. When thickened, pour into clean, hot sterile jars. Fill jars to top and seal tightly.
Yield: About 3 1/2 - 4 pints
