Homemade Ketchup
Ingredients:
7 liters of tomatoes
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon ground allspice
2 cups cider vinegar
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
(I make a lot in a batch - scale the recipe to suit your needs.)
Preparation:
Select good, ripe tomatoes. Scald and mill or strain through a coarse sieve to remove seed and skin. When the tomatoes become cold add the remaining ingredients. Let simmer slowly for 3 hours.
When you can leave a trace across the surface of your ketchup, it is ready.
Pour into hot sterilized 1-pint jars and seal. Process for 15 minutes in boiling water bath. Add 5 minutes processing time for altitudes from 1,001 to 6,000 feet, and another 5 minutes if over 6,000 feet.
Notes
I grind my spices with a pestle and mortar and believe that the best tastes come from fresh ground spice rather than pre-ground - I heartily recommend the investment in a good pestle and mortar.
Be sparing with the pepper and allspice, it is very easy to over spice tomato ketchup
I like to leave the seeds in, but you can sieve them out for a more Heinz look..
Re: Homemade Ketchup
OH`s reaction would be does it taste like Heinz?

Re: Homemade Ketchup
I prefer it, but have never really liked commercial ketchups, they tend to be too sweet for my tastes
Re: Homemade Ketchup
Personally, I hate it, but OH likes it on his fried cheese sandwhiches.
