This one is very similar to the one we've used for years:

1 peck tomatoes (approximately 8 quarts)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon ground allspice
2 cups cider vinegar
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cloves
PREPARATION:
Select good, ripe tomatoes. Scald and strain through a coarse sieve to remove seed and skin. Measure 1 gallon. When the tomatoes become cold add the remaining ingredients. Let simmer slowly for 3 hours.
Pour into hot sterilized 1-pint jars and seal. Process for 15 minutes in boiling water bath.
