   non corrosive soup kettle, combine the tomatoes, peppers, celery,
   onion, garlic, bay leaves, brown sugar, and vinegar.  Simmer over low
   heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Stir in the cinnamon,
   cloves, ginger, mustard, and cayenne pepper. Continue to simmer over
   low heat for 2 hours. Stir regularly with wooden spoon to prevent
   scorching. Add the black pepper and salt to taste. Remove and discard
   the bay leaves. Cool and ladle into clean, hot, half pint jars,
   leaving a 1/2 inch head space. Seal and process in a water bath for
   10 minutes.
