3 cloves garlic
12 whole allspice berries

6 bay leaves

5 g dried thyme

Heat the oven to 350 F.

Simmer the tomatoes, onion, garlic, allspice, cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon, thyme, and 1 cup water in a saucepan for 8 minutes.
Blend the softened peppers, cooked tomato mixture, vinegar, and salt until smooth, removing the cinnamon stick and bay leaves first.
