Prep the Ingredients: Chop or slice the green tomatoes and onions. Place them in a large Dutch oven or stockpot. Add the black pepper, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and mixed pickling spices (if using, place in a cheesecloth bag). Pour the vinegar over the vegetables and spices. At this point, you’re adding everything except the honey and salt.

Prepare Canning Supplies: Prepare pint or half pint jars and a boiling water bath canner.

Can the Ketchup: Ladle the hot ketchup into sterilized jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean and seal with hot lids. Process in a boiling water bath for ⏱️ 15 minutes, adjusting for altitude, see notes.
7
Cool and Store: Let the jars cool on a towel for ⏱️ 24 hours. Check the seals, and store sealed jars in a cool, dry place for up to a year. Refrigerate unsealed jars for up to 3 months.
