Bring the mixture to just a boil, reduce heat and simmer. Cook, allowing it to bubble gently, stirring often and carefully, for 20 - 40 minutes or until thick and pulpy.

Taste the mixture at different times, making sure the seasoning is to taste. Once at desired thickness, remove the muslin, salt and paprika to taste then allow to cool.
