"When an early frost halts the ripening of tomatoes in the
Laurentians, cooks make a spicy green tomato ketchup to enjoy with
tourtière, cipaille or cold meats all year long. This is a favourite
recipe of Chef Denis Paquin growing up in Val David."
Julian Armstrong
In a large bowl, alternative layers of tomatoes and onions,
sprinkling each layer with salt. Let stand for at least 8 hours or
overnight. Rinse; drain well. Combine vegetables with vinegar, sugar,
and spice bag.
In a large saucepan or stock pot, bring mixture to a boil, then
simmer, uncovered, for about 30 to 45 minutes, stirring frequently
until slightly thickened. Pour into hot sterilized jars and seal.
