Recipe originated by Mary Katherine Ricketts Lowry

Ingredients:

1/2 bushel of tomatoes

24 medium onions

3 green peppers

3 red peppers

1 large bunch of celery

3 tbsp. salt

1 quart vinegar

8 cups sugar (or to taste)

4 tbsp. mixed pickling spices

In a large pot, place peeled and chopped

tomatoes, peeled and chopped onions,

chopped red and green peppers and celery.

Tie spices in a bag (cheesecloth bag or other 

cooking bag)  and cook all ingredients to 

desired thickness.  Stir often to prevent 

sticking.  Pour in prepared jars and seal.

Sally says:

"Katie's grandchildren loved this mixed with

cooked hamburger to make sloppy joes."
