Stop buying store bought and make your own ketchup!

#recipe

2 pounds of tomatoes, cut fresh tomatoes and frozen can just be added in the pot as is.

2 scallions cut in chunks

3 cloves of garlic

2 small jalapeño peppers chopped (optional)

Part 1️⃣

Add scallions, tomatoes, jalapeños and garlic in a wide pot. Cover the pot and cook on medium-low heat for 20 minutes.

If using all fresh tomatoes then add 2 tablespoons of water to the pot. If you have any frozen tomatoes in the mix no water is required.

Once the tomatoes are soft and mushy remove from heat and cool a few minutes before adding to a blender and blend into a smooth paste. I did this process twice to help thicken the mixture and leave less seeds or skins.

Pass the puree through a fine sieve if needed

Put the strained puree back into a clean pot.

Part 2

To the purée in the pot add the following ingredients.

½ cup of brown sugar

⅓ cup of apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons of white sugar

1 teaspoon of sriracha sauce (optional)

¼ teaspoon of pepper

1 teaspoon garlic f cinnamon powder

1 teaspoon of mustard powder

1 teaspoon of salt

Mix in all the ingredients. Bring it to a light boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes until the sauce has thickened and reduced. The sauce will look thickened.

Cold Plate Test process

Place a drop of sauce on the cold plate if the sauce spreads like water, cook it further. If it retains its shape, it is ready.

Transfer hot ketchup to the sterilized jar or bottles.
