Has anyone got a good recipe for tomato sauce?!
I'm keen to make some tomato sauce (ketchup) and the last batch I made (following a tomato sauce recipe I was given) was more like chutney!. Has anyone got a good recipe that will taste similar to the Heinz tomato sauce you buy!? (Or better of course!!) These tomatoes need using today so a quick answer would be great!!

Ingredients
6kg/13lb ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
8 medium onions, peeled, halved and sliced
2 large red peppers, seeds and white filament removed, chopped
150g/5oz soft brown sugar
500ml/17fl oz cider vinegar
1 tsp mustard
? tsp large piece of cinnamon stick
1 tbsp whole allspice
1 tbsp whole cloves
1 tbsp ground mace
1 tbsp celery seeds
1 tbsp black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
1 garlic clove, peeled and bruised
salt
paprika, to taste (optional)
Method
1!. Combine the tomatoes, onion and peppers in a large heavy pan over a medium heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until very soft!. Push through a coarse-mesh sieve and return to the pot with the sugar, vinegar and mustard!. Tie the cinnamon, allspice, cloves, mace, celery seeds, black peppercorns, bay leaves and garlic in a square of muslin and drop it into the stew!. Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce to a slow simmer!. Continue to cook, allowing it to bubble gently, stirring often and carefully, for at least 10-20 minutes, until thoroughly blended and quite thick!.
2!. Leave to cool, remove the muslin bag of spices, then pour the mixture through a funnel into suitable bottles!. Stored in the fridge this ketchup will keep for a month!. If you follow the prescribed procedure for preserves and bottle in properly sterilised jars, it should keep for a year!.
Use it as you would any commercial tomato ketchup, to accompany burgers, sausages, and plain grilled fish and chicken, but always with enormous self-satisfaction bordering on smugness!.

Catsup
Scald, peel, and core a peck of sound, ripe
tomatoes!. Mash as if for stewing!. Season with a
tablespoonful of ground black pepper, half a
teaspoonful of red pepper, one tablespoon each of
cloves, mace, and allspice, and three onions cut
very fine, with salt to taste!. Put all in a
porcelain lined kettle to boil, and when the
tomatoes are thoroughly cooked, rub the catsup
through a sieve to get out the seeds and pieces of
spice!. After straining return to the kettle and
let it boil until thick as cream!. Set aside and
when cold put into pint bottles, filling each to
within half an inch of cork, and pouring in on top
of each a teaspoonful of salad oil!. The bottles
should be kept in a cool, dry place, resting on
their sides!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
