"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
