SPICY HOMEMADE KETCHUP



Spicy Homemade Ketchup image

A more complex version of ketchup that will make your kitchen smell great and has a bit of a kick. I made this when I had some extra tomato juice and wanted to figure out a way to use it. I'm sure you could substitute different peppers depending on what is on hand but the shishito and roasted Anaheim added a wonderful flavor. Adjust chilies to your heat preference. These amounts make it spicy but not hot. I used the celery heart with two stalks because that is what was left.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Anaheim chile pepper
6 cups tomato juice, or more to taste
5 peppers shishito peppers
2 medium jalapeno peppers

1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, with leaves, chopped

  • Meanwhile, remove seeds from Anaheim pepper, shishito peppers, and jalapeno peppers. Chop and place in a bowl. Chop serrano peppers, leaving seeds, and add to the bowl.

  • Add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, cinnamon, salt, cloves, allspice, and salt. Simmer for 1 more hour, or until desired thickness. Puree ketchup with an immersion blender until smooth.

HOMEMADE KETCHUP



Homemade Ketchup image

This ketchup does come close to those name brands in terms of taste, texture and color. I've never had a tomato paste-based ketchup that I liked, so I decided to cook down crushed tomatoes instead. By using the slow cooker, we take most of the labor out of the process.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes

Time 12h10m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (28 ounce) cans peeled ground tomatoes
½ cup water, divided
⅔ cup white sugar
¾ cup distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ¾ teaspoons salt
⅛ teaspoon celery salt
⅛ teaspoon mustard powder
¼ teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 whole clove

Steps:

  • Pour ground tomatoes into slow cooker. Swirl 1/4 cup water in each emptied can and pour into slow cooker. Add sugar, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, celery salt, mustard powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and whole clove; whisk to combine.
  • Cook on high, uncovered, until mixture is reduced by half and very thick, 10 to 12 hours. Stir every hour or so.
  • Smooth the texture of the ketchup using an immersion blender, about 20 seconds.
  • Ladle the ketchup into a fine strainer and press mixture with the back of a ladle to strain out any skins and seeds.

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (28-ounce) can plum tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil

1 medium clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar
4 whole cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground mace

1 small cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon dry mustard

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Pass tomatoes and their juice through a food mill or large-holed strainer into a bowl. Discard solids, and set tomatoes aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, jalapeno, and garlic, and cook until translucent, about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and brown sugar, and stir to combine.
  • Cut a double thickness of cheesecloth into a 7-inch square. Place cloves, mace, cardamom, peppercorns, star anise, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick in the center. Fold the sides of the cheesecloth around the spices, roll up, and tie with kitchen string. Add sachet and mustard to the tomato mixture, and cook over medium-low heat until mixture is reduced by two-thirds, about 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Look for ripe, firm tomatoes with a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your ketchup will taste. If possible, use homegrown or farmer's market tomatoes.
  • Simmer the ketchup for a low flame: This will help the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to make spicy ketchup. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste.
  • Canning is recommended: If you want to store your ketchup for longer, you can can it. This will also help to preserve the flavor.
