Step 1: In a lrg saucepan, combine the first 8 ingredients. If using the pickling spice, put it on a double thickness of cheesecloth. Gather corners of cloth to enclose seasoning, tie securely w/string & add to the saucepan. Cook 1 hr or until thickened.
Step 2: Discard spice bag, cool ketchup & store in airtight containers in the fridge.
Step 3: NOTE #1: Because the rhubarb & tomatoes are diced, the final product will be texturally chunky like a salsa. My choice will be to puree the ketchup w/my immersion blender.
Step 4: NOTE #2: Yield will be roughly 3 to 3 1/2 cups. As w/other recipes like this, the # of servings varies w/how you use it more than my estimation of servings, so I opted to enter the recipe as a single serving.
