Time 45m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds cherries
2 tablespoons whole mace blades or 2 teaspoons ground mace
1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
1 teaspoon dry yellow mustard
1 teaspoon whole cloves
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon ground nutmeg, preferably freshly grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 to 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, preferably unfiltered

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine the cherries with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook until the cherries soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then pass the cooked cherries and their liquid through a food mill, or press them through a colander, to make a chunky juice.
  • In a clean saucepan, combine the juice with the spices and salt. Simmer over low heat until reduced by half, about 15 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add 1/4 cup vinegar and keep cooking until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove a bit of the ketchup, let cool and taste. Adjust salt, spices and vinegar until the flavor is sweet, spicy and tart. The ketchup will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

I'm allergic to cherries, so I substituted raspberries instead. The ketchup was still delicious!

I had some trouble finding fresh cherries, so I used frozen cherries instead. The ketchup still turned out great!

This ketchup is a little sweet for my taste, but overall it's a good recipe. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cherries. But I'm so glad I did! The cherry flavor is subtle and it really complements the other flavors in the ketchup.
