Ketchup? Catsup??

[justusnak]

OK, which ever way you spell it....how do YOU make it? I remember my grandmother used to make her own, but it was sooo sweet!! I am wanting to make some this summer...not alot because we dont use much, but I would have a base for BBQ sauce. How do you can it? I am guessing pint jars? I am trying to get my folder ready for next years canning....filled with recipes I want to try. And, for the BBQ sauces....can you premake them and can them as well?

I like this UK site:

***** Remember it will have British measurments !!!!

Look out for the Gooseberry ketchup -- it's great!

Great page Hattie!

You've definitely given me something to do with all the tomatoes we always have!

The Ball canning books has loads of good canning recipes.

This one looks promising and has detailed instructions.

I will keep looking.

*eta I found a BBQ off the same site that looks worthy of trying also.

Ketchup.
I roast tomatoes on my outdoor grill. Put them through a Berarducci Squeezo which removes skins, seeds and the remaining small amount of excess water. Tomatoes are fairly thick because the grill dehydrates them.
I add some finely ground in the food processor sundried tomatoes and salt, onion juice, vinegar and canned. Turns out thick with natural sweetness, a bit of smokiness from the grilled tomatoes.

My first try with ketchup was to boil down to nothing and it tasted like canned tomato soup. I like this better.

Canned what? I like this recipe, but I think you missed something.

I must admit, ketchup is my vice. I have eliminated all HFCS from my house, but can't seem to give up ketchup.

Ditto, eating some right now on chicken...

I canned it in jars for future use. Sorry, I have my own version of shorthand and simply love action verbs.
