Ingredients
- 1 pick tomatoes (~8 qts of puree)
- 12 onions
- 1 bunch celery
- 1 1/2 c sugar
- 1/4 c salt
- 1 t pepper
- 1/2 - 3/4 c flour (mixed with cold water to avoid clumps)
Preparation
Puree the tomatoes, onions and celery into a 4+ gallon stock pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and strain back into a stock pot(s). Add the sugar, salt, pepper and flour mixture, and bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently. Continue with a rolling boil for about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and divide into canning jars--filling to the shoulder of each jar. When pressure cooker is ready, put on the rings and tighten to seal; but don't do this too soon so that they lids start popping before cooking. Cook in a pressure cooker for 8 minutes at 5 lbs pressure.
