Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the tomatoes, onion, green pepper, sugar, tomato paste and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 1-1/2 hours., Stir in vinegar; heat through. Cool to room temperature; store up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• To make the ketchup: Place a rack about 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat. Arrange the tomatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil the tomatoes, turning occasionally, until blackened all over. Set aside to cool slightly. Core and roughly chop the tomatoes with their skins.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, chipotles, cinnamon, allspice, and clove and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and brown sugar and cook, stirring, until the liquid is slightly syrupy. Add the chopped tomatoes and salt and season with pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Pass the ketchup through a food mill, discard the seeds and skins. Return the ketchup to the saucepan and place over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until very thick, about 15 minutes. Store in the refrigerator at least 3 hours or overnight for the flavors to come together.
• To make the potato skins: Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Bake the potatoes on the rack until tender, about 55 minutes. Set the potatoes aside to cool, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the garlic cloves and olive oil in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook until the garlic sizzles, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and cook until the garlic is tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Remove the garlic and reserve.
• Raise the oven to 500 degrees F. Halve the potatoes lengthwise and gently scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of the flesh intact. Reserve the potato flesh for other recipes (See Cook's Note.)
• Cut the potato halves in half lengthwise and transfer them to a baking sheet. Pour the garlic oil over the potato skins and turn them until completely coated. Arrange the potato skins skin-side down and bake until crispy, turning once, about 15 minutes.
• Season skins with salt, to taste. Transfer the skins to a serving platter and serve with the ketchup. For an extra garlicky punch, chop up the reserved garlic and sprinkle it over the skins.
• Cook's Note: Don't throw away that leftover potato flesh! Use it as thickener for soups or stews, make crispy potato cakes, or whip up a batch of impromptu croquettes.

Steps:

• Heat broiler. In a large bowl, toss onions with olive oil to coat. Place onions on a baking sheet and broil until blackened, about 10 to 12 minutes to a side.
• In a small iron skillet over medium heat, toast coriander, cumin and mustard seeds until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Grind toasted spices in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
• In a deep, heavy, nonreactive pot, combine onions, ground coriander, cumin and mustard and remaining ingredients. Simmer over medium-low heat about 3 hours, stirring every 15 minutes to break up tomatoes and to keep ketchup from sticking. Ketchup should reduce by a third. Let cool slightly.
• In a food processor or blender, puree ketchup in batches. Transfer to jars. Let cool completely, then refrigerate. Ketchup will keep for as long as 3 months in refrigerator, or frozen for as long as 6 months.

Steps:

• Pass tomatoes and their juice through a food mill or large-holed strainer into a bowl. Discard solids, and set tomatoes aside.

• Cut a double thickness of cheesecloth into a 7-inch square. Place cloves, mace, cardamom, peppercorns, star anise, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick in the center. Fold the sides of the cheesecloth around the spices, roll up, and tie with kitchen string. Add sachet and mustard to the tomato mixture, and cook over medium-low heat until mixture is reduced by two-thirds, about 25 minutes.
• Stir in vinegar, cayenne, lime juice, and salt. Reduce heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove sachet of spices, squeeze out into ketchup, and discard.

• Smooth the texture of the ketchup using an immersion blender, about 20 seconds.
• Ladle the ketchup into a fine strainer and press mixture with the back of a ladle to strain out any skins and seeds.
• Transfer the strained ketchup to a bowl. Cool completely before tasting to adjust salt, black pepper, or cayenne pepper.
