  • Wooden spoon
  • Food processor or food mill
  • Sterilized jars with lids
Ingredients
  • 3 T olive oil

  • ¼ t cloves
  • ¼ t allspice

Directions Heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the onions, and sauté for 8-10 minutes, until translucent and beginning to brown.

Add garlic and cook another minute, then add remaining ingredients, stir well, and bring to a boil.
