"Use this piquant version in place of regular catsup to spice up
sandwiches, meatloaf, or hamburgers. Since this catsup freezes
well, it is a great way to use all those fresh tomatoes."
Cook the tomatoes for 15 minutes and then drain off the excess
liquid. Add the celery, onion, bell pepper, and chiles, and simmer
for 1-1/2 hours, or until it is reduced by one half.
Add the sugar, vinegar, and spices and simmer for an additional
hour. Remove from the heat and puree until smooth.
Pack in freezer containers, leaving 1/2" head space, and freeze.
