24 lg. ripe tomatoes
12 lg. onions
10 hot peppers
4 bell peppers
2 c. vinegar
4 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. red pepper
1/2 tsp. black pepper

Chop tomatoes fine; drain juice and discard or use for another purpose.

Process pints in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes; quarts for 15 minutes.

Altitude adjustment: Add an extra 5 minutes of processing time for every 6000 feet of altitude.

What on earth does 'grind onions' mean please?

Hi Pen,

It means to put the peeled onions through a food chopper, or a meat grinder with a coarse disk; you can do this in a food processor but the results won't be as uniform as with a meat grinder.
