Home-made Ketchup Recipe

	Dond / All my dishes 8 months, 1 week ago Here's the thing: I don't like ketchup. Never have. I've never put ketchup on a burger, never dipped fries in ketchup, never added ketchup to my stew. I just don't like the stuff. But other people do, so when I serve somebody a burger or a sandwich, ... More Prep:20m Cook:40m Servings:8	Dond

Ingredients

1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely minced (use a microplane if you can)

¼ cup light brown sugar

½ tsp paprika (smoked paprika is by far the best thing to use)

¼ tsp ground allspice

¼ tsp ground cloves

⅓ cup distilled white vinegar

1 Tbsp tomato paste

2 lbs tomatoes

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Dip each tomato into simmering water for about half a minute; then plunge the tomato into a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process.

When you have gone through all the tomatoes, they should be easy to skin.

After you have removed the skins, core and seed each tomato, leaving only the flesh.

Chop the tomatoes and purée them in a blender until you have a smooth tomato sauce. You should end up with about 1½-2 cups of tomato purée.

In a saucepan, heat the oil.

Add the minced onion and garlic and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes.

Add the brown sugar, paprika, allspice, and cloves and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Don't leave any small clumps.

Add the vinegar and tomato paste and cook over moderate heat until thick, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the puréed tomatoes and and simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until your ketchup is very thick, 15 to 20 minutes. (You're basically trying to steam away as much of the tomatoes' extra water as you can)

Transfer the ketchup to a blender or food processor and purée until smooth.

Season with salt and pepper.

This stuff will keep in the refrigerator for a week or two, but you can also freeze it.
