Fruit juice sweetened Ketchup

August 24, 2007 by angelaskitchen Leave a Comment

I promised I would publish the fruit juice sweetened ketchup recipe I use to make for my family.  Here you go!

 

Making ketchup requires the water bath method of canning which you can see done on canningUSA or read about at theNational Center for Food Preservation.  If this is your first time canning I recommend you read Principles for Home Canning before you start.  If you do not choose to can, you can also freeze ketchup for later use.

Tomato Ketchup – makes 3 to 3 1/2 pints

adapted by Angela Litzinger from NCHFP

 

12 pounds vine ripened paste tomatos (or 12 cups tomato puree)

1 1/2 cups chopped sweet onions

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper

1 1/2 cup cider vinegar (be sure a 5% vinegar)

2 teaspoon whole cloves

6 inches of cinnamon stick, broken up

3/4 teaspoon whole allspice

1 1/2 tablespoon celery seeds

1 cup frozen concentrated apple juice, thawed

2 tablespoon canning salt

1/4 teaspoon groung black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wash tomatoes.  Dip in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds or until skins split. Dip in ice-cold water. Slip off skins and remove cores, seeds and any bad spots. Put coarsely chopped tomatoes into a stock pot. Add onions and red pepper. Bring to boil and simmer 20 minutes, uncovered stirring often so the tomatoes don’t scorch.

 

Combine spices in a spice bag.  I put the spices into a piece of cheese cloth or muslin and tie it with kitchen twine.  Leave a long end on the string so that you can tie one end to the spoon or handle of the pot (keep it away from the flame or heat of the burner) in order to more easily fish the spice bag out when done.  Add spice bag to vinegar in a saucepan. Bring to boil. Cover, turn off heat and steep mixture for 20 minutes. Then, remove spice bag and combine vinegar and tomato mixture.

 

Boil tomato-vinegar mixture for about 30 minutes. Put boiled mixture through a food mill or sieve. Return to pot. Add apple juice concentrate, salt, black pepper and nutmeg and boil gently, and stir frequently until volume is reduced by about one-half.  When done, ketchup mounds up on spoon without any liquid separation.

 

Fill pint jars with hot ketchup, leaving 1/8-inch headspace.  Put on lids and process for 15 minutes at 0-1,000 ft. altitude, 20 minutes for 1,001 – 6,000 ft altitude, and 25 minutes for altitudes above 6,000 ft. above sea level.

I am so happy when someone tries one of my recipes. I do ask, though, that you link back to the recipe instead of posting it on your site unless you have made major changes. I have big plans for some of my recipes. Please remember, recipes are for personal use only. I do NOT give permission for any recipe, article, photo, etc. partially or in whole from angelaskitchen.com to be used for profit on another site, in published medium of any kind, or to be copied in part or whole. You MUST contact me for permission if you would like to use a recipe on a paid/membership website, in a restaurant, store, bakery, etc. for profit even with your adaption (this includes any “clubs”, membership sites, etc. that repackage other bloggers work for a fee, even if the original had been adapted or put into another form). THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🙂
