Preparation

  1. Place cloves and allspice berries on cheesecloth and tie into a packet. In a deep, heavy, nonreactive pot, combine the spice packet and all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until a thick, pulpy sauce is formed, about 50 to 60 minutes.
  2. Pass mixture through a sieve into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract pulp. Let cool, then transfer to jars and refrigerate. The ketchup will keep 3 weeks in a refrigerator, 6 months in a freezer.
