DIY TOMATO KETCHUP ~ for Type Os

TOTAL TIME: 40 minutes       YIELD: About 2 cups

    4 pints ripe tomatoes, cut in half
    2 cups red wine
    2/3 cup dark brown sugar
    4 teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons black pepper
    3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

In a wide skillet, simmer tomatoes, wine, sugar, salt and pepper until a thick jam-like mixture forms and liquid evaporates, 20 to 25 minutes. Purée until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. (For a perfectly smooth texture, strain twice.) Stir in Worcestershire. Chill before serving.
