Time 3h

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 lbs tomatoes, ripe, quartered
3 medium red onions, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, cored and seeded
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon allspice berry
2 teaspoons whole cloves
2 teaspoons celery seeds
1 slice fresh ginger
1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 pinch cayenne

Steps:

  • Place the tomatoes, onions, bell pepper and garlic in a large pot.
  • Bring to boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are very soft, about 30 minutes.
  • Pass through the finest blade of a food mill to make a semi-smooth puree. Alternatively, puree in the blender until smooth and pass through a fine strainer. Place the puree back in the cleaned soup pot.
  • Place the peppercorns, mustard seeds, allspice berries, cloves, celery seeds, ginger, cinnamon stick and bay leaves on a piece of cheesecloth and tie it up to form a bag.
  • Add to the tomatoes, along with the brown sugar, paprika, mace, cider vinegar, salt and cayenne.
  • Simmer slowly, stirring frequently, until the ketchup is very thick, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the cheesecloth bag and discard.
  • Ketchup can be cooled and stored in a sealed plastic container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
  • Alternatively, you can put ketchup in sterilized jars. To do so, first wash the jars in hot, soapy water. Rinse well. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 4 pint jars and lids and boil 1 minute. Remove with tongs and drain.
  • While the ketchup is still hot, pour it into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headroom. Seal and place in boiling water bath for 12 minutes. Remove and cool.
