3 cups (1½ lbs.) prepared tomatoes
6½ cups (2¾ lbs.) sugar
1 bottle Certo
To prepare tomatoes, scald, peel, and crush about 2½ pounds ripe
tomatoes, or use canned tomatoes. Boil 4 cups crushed tomatoes 20
minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Add ¼ cup lemon juice and
grated rind of 1 lemon. (For use with meats, add Worcestershire sauce to
taste or ½ teaspoon each ground cloves, allspice, and cinnamon.) Measure
sugar into large kettle. Add prepared tomatoes, mix well and bring to a
_full rolling boil_ over hottest fire. Stir constantly before and while
boiling. Boil hard 1 minute. Remove kettle from fire and stir in Certo.
Stir and skim for 5 minutes. Pour quickly. Paraffin at once. Makes about
9 glasses (6 fluid ounces each).
