Cranberry Catsup Recipe

	Otterpond / All my dishes 12 months ago I went on a exploration of catsup looking for healthier alternatives and found this. It would be a perfect substitute for the catsup part of the Cranberry Sauced Chicken recipe on this site. Prep:20m Cook:120m Servings:2	Otterpond

Ingredients

2 pounds cranberries

1 cup minced yellow onions

1 teaspoon celery seeds

1 teaspoon mustard seeds

1 teaspoon whole allspice

1 stick cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon peppercorns

2 bay leaves

1 Tablespoon salt

1 cup white vinegar

2 cups sugar

Directions

Mix cranberries, onions, and 1 cup water in a large (at least 1 gallon) enamel or stainless-steel kettle, cover, and simmer 20 to 30 minutes, stirring now and then, until mushy.

Puree, a little at a time, by buzzing 20 to 30 seconds in an electric blender at low speed or 15 to 20 seconds in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade, or put through a food mill. Press through a fine sieve.

Place in a clean large kettle and cook, uncovered, at a slow boil until volume is reduced by half. (Note: It is important that kettle be large to keep ketchup from spattering kitchen.)

Meanwhile, wash and sterilize 2 (1-pint) jars and their closures, stand them on a baking sheet, and keep warm in a 250-degree F. oven until needed.

Tie celery seeds, mustard seeds, allspice, cinnamon, peppercorns, and bay leaves in cheesecloth and add to kettle along with salt, set lid on askew, and simmer 1/2 hour. Remove spice bag, add vinegar and sugar, and cook, uncovered, at a slow boil, stirring frequently, until very thick. (Note: Toward the end, you will have to stir constantly to prevent scorching.)

Ladle ketchup into jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops, wipe rims, and seal. Cool, check seals, and store in a cool, dark, dry place. Let stand 2 weeks before using.

Yield: 2 pints
