My Ground Cherry Ketchup

• 2 cups cape gooseberries (groundcherries)
• 2 onions, large finely minced
• 6 apples
• 2 green mild bell peppers
• 4 red mild bell peppers
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 3 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons pickling spices
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

1. Mince the onions.
2. Cut green and red mild peppers into pieces as big as a stamp.
3. Pass the spices and the black pepper through the blender to obtain a spice powder.
4. Peel, take away the core and cut the apples in 1 inch pieces.
5. Peel and wash the ground cherries (physalis peruviana) thoroughly.
6. Mix all the ingredients in a big thick cooking pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat.
