BEEF AND RUTABAGA HAND PIES WITH JALAPENO KETCHUP
Steps:
- For the pastry: Combine the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the cold butter and pulse until the butter is the size of small peas. Whisk the egg yolk, vinegar and 1/2 cup ice water together in a spouted measuring cup. Drizzle over the flour mixture and pulse just until the dough comes together. (If the dough is too crumbly, add a little more water; add more flour if it is too wet.) Dump the dough onto a floured counter and knead a few times to bring it together. Roll into a fat log and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- For the filling: Combine the beef, carrot, potato, rutabaga, onion, thyme, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
- To make the pastries, cut the chilled dough crosswise into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a floured surface to an approximate 6-by-8-inch oval. Pack a scant cup of the filling in a measuring cup and invert near the bottom of the oval to make a high mound of filling. Beat the remaining egg white in a small bowl with a splash of water. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash. Fold the top of the pastry over the filling and press the dough to make a circular mound of filling in the center. Trim the edges of the dough, if needed, to even them out. Crimp the edges of the pastry and cut two air vents in the top. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Chill 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Brush the chilled pastries with egg wash. Bake the pastries 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to bake until deep golden and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes more.
- Serve the pastries with Spicy Ketchup.
- Combine the ketchup, jalapenos, brine and Worcestershire in a small bowl. Chill while the pasties bake.

Steps:
- Using at least a 3 quart sauce pan, medium heat, add your oil and saute your onions and jalapenos until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add your garlic and cook for about 1more minute, stirring all the way through.
- Add tomato paste, salt and all your other spices to the pot. Stir well and cook for another minute. Now, add canned tomatoes, I use the juice from one can and poured off about half the juice from the second can (reserve just in case you need to thin).
- Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine all.
- Lower heat to a slow simmer and cook for 45 minutes. VERY IMPORTANT: Come back and check often and scrape the bottom of your pot good to prevent the settling particles from burning on the bottom. You will notice your mixture thickening up as you go along. Yes, you will not resist taking several taste-tests along the way, your going to be amazed.
- Once your 45 minutes is up, let cool. Once cooled, you will want to blend well. An immersion blender works very well, but, you can sure use a countertop blender too, working in small batches.
- I love to leave my ketchup a little chunky, but, you can also strain your ketchup for a more smooth texture. Just use a fines mesh strainer.
- At this point, I pour into pint jars (I always triple the recipe, makes great gifts) and electric-pressure can my little jars of heaven, but you most certainly can store yours in a jar in the fridge, it's shelf life is about a month, but, don't worry, it will not last that long. Good luck!
SPICY HOMEMADE KETCHUP
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.

Steps:
- Pass tomatoes and their juice through a food mill or large-holed strainer into a bowl. Discard solids, and set tomatoes aside.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Chiles: Select fresh, firm, and unblemished jalapeños. For a milder ketchup, remove the seeds and ribs before using.
- Roast the Chiles: Roasting intensifies the flavor and adds a smoky touch. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality tomatoes, vinegar, and spices. This will make a significant difference in the final taste.
- Simmer Slowly: Allow the ketchup to simmer for at least 30 minutes to develop a rich and complex flavor.
- Taste and Adjust: Be sure to taste the ketchup as you go and adjust the seasonings as desired. You can add more heat, sweetness, or tanginess to suit your preferences.
