Directions
In a medium stainless-steep or enamel saucepan, over a low flame, cook the tomatos and garlic until the sauce begins to bubble.
Add the onion and red pepper and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the corn syrup, vinegar, salt, and pickling spices and continue to simmer over the low flame until the sauce reduces and thickens, about 1½ hours, stirring occasionally.
Do not rush. Cook over a low flame to prevent scorching.
Strain through a food mill and stir in the tomato paste.
Correct seasoning to taste, cool, and refrigerate in a covered container until needed.
The ketchup will thicken slightly as it cools, but it is not the consistency of store-bought ketchup.
The ketchup will keep up to three weeks.
