My mother made the best homemade catchups ever. Maybe you will like this recipe of hers. Velvety smooth... Enjoy! :)

- 1 1/2 cups vinegar shopping list

How to make it
- Put tomatoes, onions, and pepper in pot and cook until soft. Press mixture through a sieve. Cook rapidly until thick. Around an hour.
- Reduce heat.
- Tie all whole spices in a cheesecloth bag and drop into pot. Add sugar and salt to mix.
- Cook on low about 25 minutes, stir frequently. Don't let ketchup stick to bottom of the pan.
- Now add your vinegar, paprika, and cook until thick. Again, stir often so ketchup doesn't stick to bottom of pan.
