• Cook on high, uncovered, until mixture is reduced by half and very thick, 10 to 12 hours. Stir every hour or so.
• Smooth the texture of the ketchup using an immersion blender, about 20 seconds.

ROASTED TOMATO KETCHUP

Steps:

• Put the passata into a heavy pan with the vinegar, lemon juice, and spices. Bring to a simmer, then add the sugar. Stir until dissolved, then continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the sauce is reduced to a thick but pourable consistency.
• Pour immediately into warm, sterilized bottles or jars (see p. 152). Seal immediately with vinegar-proof lids (see p. 22). Store in a cool, dry place and use within 4 months. For longer keeping, sterilize the filled jars using the method on p. 125. Once opened, keep in the fridge.
• VARIATION
• Rhubarb makes a delightful fruity ketchup; this is a good way to use up the tougher, tarter stalks toward the end of the rhubarb season. Slow roast 4 1/2 pounds of chopped rhubarb with 9 ounces of chopped red onions and 3 or 4 garlic cloves at 350°F for about 1 hour. Strain through a sieve and put into a heavy saucepan. Use the same quantities of sugar and vinegar as above, but leave out the lemon juice (as rhubarb is very acidic). Replace the mustard, black pepper, and cloves with a good teaspoonful each of ground cumin and coriander. Continue to cook as for tomato ketchup.

ROASTED TOMATO KETCHUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the tomatoes in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until soft. Transfer the tomatoes to a food processor and process until smooth. Strain the tomatoes, pressing against the solids with a wooden spoon to extract as much pulp and juice as possible. Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and saute the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the tomato puree and remaining ingredients and continue cooking, uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick.

TOMATO KETCHUP

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes, onions and garlic in a heavy, nonaluminum pot, cover and slowly bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove the lid, stir, and continue cooking for about 45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are very soft.
• Remove the pot from the heat, and pass the mixture through a food mill or strainer, discarding the seeds and skin. Return the liquid to the pot, stir in the sugar, paprika and mace, and slowly cook over medium heat for about one hour, or until the volume is reduced by half. Stir frequently, and as the sauce thickens, adjust the heat down.
• While the sauce is cooking, place the vinegar, peppercorns, cinnamon, mustard seed, cloves and chili pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer slowly.
• Once the ketchup has thickened, strain the seasoned vinegar into it, stirring to mix well, and continue cooking for another 45 minutes. Allow the ketchup to cool, pour it into sterilized jars and store in the refrigerator for three to four months. Or pour it into sterilized jars, leaving a half-inch space at the top, cover with preserving lids and process in boiling water for 20 minutes.
