How To Make lemon catsup

Step 1Roll the lemons under your palm to increase juice. Grate zest off the lemons and squeeze juice into a pitcher, removing all seeds.

Step 2Put horseradish and shallots into boiling vinegar, which has had simmering in it -- ginger and mace for 5 minutes. Add this to the lemon juice and zest. Boil all together for 30 minutes; transfer to glass jar with a lid. Paste a band of strong white paper around the lower part of the lid. Set in a dry cool place and leave it undisturbed for 3 months.
