- 2 teaspoons allspice
- 2 teaspoons pepper

I believe your cold tomato catsup should be 1 peck not 1 package tomatoes. 1 peck is 8 quarts tomatoes. (same as 1/4 of a bushel) I have a recipe that is similar to this.

You are correct, I thought we fixed that but it looks like we didn't. Thank you for the catch!!!

Is it possible that the "pk" that has been translated is actually an abbreviation for a PECK of tomatoes, which is a 1/4 of a bushel? According to Google, that's about 2 gallons.
