RecipesHomemade ketchup
Many children and adults cannot do without ketchup. And if you have so many tomatoes at home that you don't know what to do with them, try making your own...
Ingredients (what you need)
2 kg of tomatoes
250 g of unpeeled apples
250 g of onions
1 tablespoon of salt
125 ml of vinegar
1 tablespoon of sweet paprika
1/2 tablespoon of hot paprika (or 1 chili pepper)
5 cloves
5 allspice berries
5 whole peppercorns
150 g of sugar
Recipe steps
Rinsed tomatoes, apples, and onion are cut into rings and cooked with vinegar, salt, paprika, cloves, allspice, and pepper.
We prepare the dish for one and a half hours.
Then we add sugar and cook uncovered for another 15 minutes (or longer) to achieve a thicker consistency of the ketchup.
After cooking, everything is blended, strained, and poured into jars, the edges are wiped, and they are sealed tightly with lids.
If we rarely use ketchup at home, we should preserve it for greater shelf life and to prevent spoilage.
Additional information about the recipe Homemade ketchup
Homemade ketchup is an excellent alternative to industrially produced variants, which often contain preservatives and artificial flavorings. The preparation is simple and requires only fresh tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and spices to taste. You can experiment with different herbs, such as basil or oregano, and create your own unique recipe. Homemade ketchup is not only delicious but also a healthier and more environmentally friendly choice that the whole family will appreciate. It goes great with hamburgers, fries, or as a dip for vegetable snacks.
