I've talked myself into making ketchup with the last of my green
tomatoes instead of making salsa. So I've been combing my recipe books
and the Internet looking for ketchup recipes that look good using green
tomatoes. I'm overwhelmed by all the underwhelming recipes and having
trouble picking. I might try to combine several and come up with my own
recipe.

There's a lot of disagreement about what spices to use. And a lot of
the recipes use ground spices, but that will turn the ketchup brown...
I'm planning to simmer whole spices (cloves, allspice, coriander, mace
or cinnamon, and bayleaf) in the vinegar before I add it, and add ground
mustard, ginger, and a little cayenne to the tomatoes because they are
light-colored. I don't see turmeric in *any* of the recipes, I wonder why?

A procedure I like that's mostly in the ancient recipes is to slice and
salt the tomatoes and onions and let them sit overnight, then pour off
the water. That way, you don't have to boil it off. You do lose some
control over how much salt is in the final product.

So does anybody here have a tried-n-true recipe for ketchup, either
green or red? Thanks.

2. DÃ*I TAY, TAY Lỡ
Nếu như mùa hè lÃ* mùa của váy quây, váy 2 dây hay váy
kiểu tank top thì tới mùa thu, những chiếc tay áo sẽ
được kéo dÃ*i ra một chút. Vì thời tiết đã dễ chịu

Phần tay áo được kéo dÃ*i ra mang tới vẻ ngoÃ*i kÃ*n đáo
hơn nhưng lại không hề bị giÃ* dặn chút nÃ*o. Những gam

Just freeze the tomatoes whole, then let them thaw. Slip off the
skins, pour off the excess water. No need to use salt.

My suggestion: Don't bother.

When we were first married we had a large backyard garden and a terrific
tomato crop. Never having canned anything, we decided to make ketchup.

I bought canning jars and about $15 worth of spices (and this was back
when things were cheap in the mid 60s.)

We picked, washed, chopped about 8 quarts of tomatoes. Per the USDA
recipe, they cooked for hours. By the time we were through, we had 1
1/2 pints of ketchup that was much less tasty than even the cheapest
brand on the market.

There are lots better uses for tomatoes.

Every home gardener needs to make ketchup at least once. It's a
humbling experience that always goes pretty much like yours; bunch of
money of sugar and spices, many hours of work, and when you're done you
turn half a bushel of wonderful vine-ripe tomatoes into 2 pints of
ketchup -- and if you did a *really* good job, it tastes almost as good
as the cheap off-brand stuff from the dollar store.

I'm doing this one for fun, not because it makes any sense :-)

That's good to hear. I was going to suggest tomato/onion/bellpepper
relish with some jalapenos or habaneros to kick it up a bit,then you
could have the fun and a tasty product in addition.

That sounds like a lot of our adventures.
Never tried ketchup, but tried tomato paste; ONCE. Think that bugger
boiled all day IIRC.
Over the years we now limit it to canned tomatoes, spagetti sauce, a
couple jellies, pickled beets, and sausage.

My ketchup was better than premium brands -- I didn't put any sugar in
it; I sweetened it by cooking down the juice in the tomatoes. (Drain
it off, as suggested, and you'll probably get the results reported.)

you may have to go back a fair ways to find
decent green ketchup recipes. it used to be
that ketchup was more than one kind (the red
kind so common today). three were common, red,
green and mushroom.

i have no idea if they were any good. :)

i made a relish from garlic, green tomatoes,
spices and jalapenos that turned out okish and
didn't involve a ton of cooking down. i think
that is one way to make an acceptable use of
green tomatoes. in the end i much prefer green
tomatoes fried in butter and eaten as a sandwich.
no breading or batter needed, if you grill the
bread you get all the good stuff and not so much
of the grease.
