 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3      tablespoons   olive oil
    3      cups          coarsely chopped onion
    3                    garlic cloves -- minced
    3      pounds        ripe plum tomatoes -- coarsely chopped
      1/3  cup           distilled white vinegar
      1/2  cup           dark corn syrup
      1/4  teaspoon      ground cloves
      1/4  teaspoon      ground allspice
    1      teaspoon      mustard seeds
      1/2  teaspoon      ground celery seeds
    1      tablespoon    salt
    2      teaspoons     freshly ground black pepper
 
 In a large heavy pot heat the olive oil over moderate heat and cook
 the onion until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10
 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes,
 vinegar, corn syrup, cloves, allspice, mustard seeds, celery seeds,
 salt and pepper stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil,
 reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Pass the
 mixture through a food mill into a bowl and return to the pot. Bring
 the mixture back to a simmer and cook until very thick, stirring
 occasionally, about 45 minutes. Allow the ketchup to cool. The ketchup
 can be sealed in sterilized jars and kept indefinitely.
