Description

Most people think ketchup is American, but actually it originated in China as a dipping sauce. English sailors took it home with them and by the late 19th century they invented the tomato ketchup. This recipe makes about 1.6 kg of ketchup. A great gift!

Ingredients

  • 6-½ pounds, 1-⅞ ounces, weight Tomatoes
  • 10 tablespoons, 7 pinches Cider Vinegar
  • 10 whole Cloves
  • 4 whole Cardamom Pods
  • ½ teaspoons White Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Pimento
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Mild Paprika Powder
  • 2-⅔ ounces, weight Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • 1 ounces, weight Sun Dried Tomatoes

Preparation

1 Add all the ingredients together in a large pan (soup pan is great) and bring to a boil.

2. Turn the heat down and cook the mixture for another 2 hours and reduce by at least a third.

3. Pass the mixture through a sieve and check the thickness. If you want you could cook it down further or use a thickening agent.

4. Save the ketchup in sterilized bottles. Unopened, the ketchup will keep for 8 – 10 months. After opening save in the fridge.

Also, not quite sure how to measure a “pinch” of vinegar… (American here) we only use “pinch” in measuring granular ingredients.

I looked up 1.6 kg (yield) and found out that it is 56.3 ounces or just over 3.5 lbs.

Janet (aka kennybent), TastyKitchen has a US or Metric option. All you have to do is click the radio button underneath the “servings” and then the [Update] button. Also, if you live near a Le Creuset outlet mall, they have a great sale going on for the month of May (see http://www.lcstores.com to see sale and on the left is a link to see if there’s a store near you.)

Marjolein, I love the idea of homemade ketchup. Thanks!
Have you tried omitting the sugar for a “no-sugar” added version? If so, how did it turn out? Thanks again for the recipe!

Hi Marjolein, thank for your reply, also culinarycapers

150ml cider vinegar
75 grams sugar
3 kilograms tomatos

Went shopping the other day to buy a food mill just for
this recipe. And you all must excuse me as I am an old lady of
77 years and got on this site last week. I get the urge to
try everything on it as it looks so good.

I made the brisket and it was absolutely wonderful. Now
I need to get a Le Creuset dutch oven.

Too old for old dogs to learn new tricks? Hope not. janet

Janet:
I do live in Europe, The Netherlands to be precise. So this makes sense to me. But help me out, what would you like to have changed? Is it the ingredients you don’t know or are the measurements not familiar to you?
