MUSHROOM CATSUP



Mushroom Catsup image

I have not cooked this recipe but thought it looked interesting enough to try. Let me know how it tastes! The word ketchup comes from the Chinese word "kôe-chiap" or "ke-tsiap," meaning "brine of pickled fish or shellfish." The original Chinese type of ketchup tasted more like soy or Worcestershire sauce, and did, of course, contain fish brine, plus herbs and spices. There were no tomatoes involved. The early recipe "traveled," as good recipes do, to Malaysia and Indonesia. 17th century English sailors encountered the sauce in their journeys, and took the sauce and recipe concept home to England. (Another theory states that British explorers first discovered the condiment in Southeast Asia.) At any rate, instructions for making ketchups then spread to other parts of the Western world. The sauce was first mentioned in print in the English language in 1690. In 1748 in the Housekeeper's Pocketbook, Mrs. Harrison recommended that the homemaker never be without it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chinese-type fishy ketchup evolved into various ketchup-type sauces: mushroom ketchup; walnut ketchup; eventually the tomato-style (more like what we eat now); and other different types. The older recipes usually call the sauce "catsup." "Catchup" is yet another possible spelling. In 1841 Sarah Josepha Hale, an American cookbook writer, offered recipes for walnut and tomato catsups, but she cast a disapproving eye at homemade mushroom catsup: "Mushroom is most esteemed; but the difficulty in our country of obtaining the right kind of plant, (some are poisonous,) renders a receipt of little consequence. It is better to buy this catsup at the shops. However, other cookbook writers were braver. In 1871 Marion Harland presented her instructions for making mushroom catsup. This is an old English recipe brought to the United States.

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.

Time 12h10m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (28 ounce) cans peeled ground tomatoes

¾ cup distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ¾ teaspoons salt
⅛ teaspoon celery salt
⅛ teaspoon mustard powder
¼ teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 whole clove

Steps:

  • Pour ground tomatoes into slow cooker. Swirl 1/4 cup water in each emptied can and pour into slow cooker. Add sugar, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, celery salt, mustard powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and whole clove; whisk to combine.
  • 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.
  • Ladle the ketchup into a fine strainer and press mixture with the back of a ladle to strain out any skins and seeds.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, tart rhubarb for the best flavor. Rhubarb that is too old or woody will not produce a good ketchup.
  • Be sure to trim the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves before using. The leaves are poisonous and can make you sick.
  • You can use either white or brown sugar in this recipe. Brown sugar will give the ketchup a richer flavor.
  • If you like a spicy ketchup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Be sure to simmer the ketchup for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Canning is a great way to preserve your homemade rhubarb ketchup. Follow the canning instructions carefully to ensure that the ketchup is properly sealed and safe to store.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb ketchup is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of foods. It is easy to make and can be canned for long-term storage.
