Homemade Ketchup

Category,

While it may not taste exactly like ketchup in a bottle, it's very popular in our house. Spread 1 cup of the ketchup on a rib roast or corned beef and bake, yum! Mix 3-4 tablespoons into your braised chicken and potatoes. A little bit adds a lot of flavor.

Yields6 Servings
 3 lbs Plum Tomatoes
 2 Medium Onions, chopped
 3 tbsp Light Olive Oil or other fat
 1 cup Sugar
 ¾ tsp Salt
 ½ cup Lemon Juice
 ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
 3-4 tbsp Beet Juice
1

Peel tomatoes using a serrated peeler. Cut each in half and remove as many seeds as possible.

2

Puree tomatoes until smooth, in a blender or food processor.

3

Over medium heat, sauté onions in oil in a heavy 6-quart stockpot, stirring often, about 7 to 8 Minutes. Add pureed tomatoes, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat 1 hour until reduced by about half. Add lemon juice and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings. Continue to simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until very thick, about 2 hours longer.

4

Using a hand blender, puree ketchup until smooth. If ketchup is pale red and you would prefer it to be darker, add a few tablespoons of beet juice to the mixture. Chill, at least 2 hours to allow flavors to develop.
