HOMEMADE KETCHUP



Homemade Ketchup image

This ketchup does come close to those name brands in terms of taste, texture and color. I've never had a tomato paste-based ketchup that I liked, so I decided to cook down crushed tomatoes instead. By using the slow cooker, we take most of the labor out of the process.

SPICY HOMEMADE KETCHUP



Spicy Homemade Ketchup image

A more complex version of ketchup that will make your kitchen smell great and has a bit of a kick. I made this when I had some extra tomato juice and wanted to figure out a way to use it. I'm sure you could substitute different peppers depending on what is on hand but the shishito and roasted Anaheim added a wonderful flavor. Adjust chilies to your heat preference. These amounts make it spicy but not hot. I used the celery heart with two stalks because that is what was left.

Provided by Victory Garden

Time 2h50m

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Anaheim chile pepper
6 cups tomato juice, or more to taste
5 peppers shishito peppers
2 medium jalapeno peppers
4 peppers serrano peppers
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, with leaves, chopped
1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place Anaheim pepper onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook, turning occasionally, under the preheated broiler until the skin of the pepper has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened pepper into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow pepper to steam as it cools, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skin.
  • Heat tomato sauce in a pot until simmering.
  • Meanwhile, remove seeds from Anaheim pepper, shishito peppers, and jalapeno peppers. Chop and place in a bowl. Chop serrano peppers, leaving seeds, and add to the bowl.
  • Add peppers to the simmering tomato juice, along with onion and celery. Simmer for 1 hour.
  • Add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, cinnamon, salt, cloves, allspice, and salt. Simmer for 1 more hour, or until desired thickness. Puree ketchup with an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Pour into sterilized jars or squeeze bottles.
