This was my Granny's and we've all made it ever since.It's very simple but I think it's as good as many more complex ones with apples etc. The only thing is that this is the original recipe and I now add less salt as many people prefer less these days. You may like to start with 60 grms and add more once you've moulied it if you don't think that is enough.
5.5 kgs tomatoes 84 grms whole allspice 84 grms common salt 900 mls vinegar 1360 grms sugar
Put spice into a muslin bag then boil all ingredients together for 3 hours. Remove bag of spices. Put through the mouli or blender. (If you use a blender I would blanch the tomatoes and remove the skins first and you will have pips in the sauce which the mouli removes). Allow to become completely cold, then bottle. The rather odd measures are because the recipe wasn't metric in 1910!
