Split the tomatoes and put them in a preserving-kettle without any water and boil till quite done, stirring often to prevent burning; strain through a colander first, then a hair sieve, to get as much pulp as possible; wash kettle, then return to the fire with all ingredients and boil to the consistency of thick honey. Set aside until next day, and should any watery substance arise to the top boil again; if not, bottle. MISS LOUISE HAMBLIN.
