Ketchup
Glorious American Food
by
Christopher Idone, 1985, Random House
Ingredients
6 pounds
very ripe tomatoes, peeled and
seeded, with juices reserved
1 onion
6 whole
cloves
4 whole
allspice berries
6
peppercorns
1 sprig
fresh rosemary
1 celery
heart, with leaves
2
tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup
cider or raspberry vinegar
Salt
Tools
Large
non-aluminum kettle
Food mill
Coarsely
chop the tomatoes and place them in the kettle with the
reserved juice.
Stud the
onion with the cloves and tie it in a double layer of dampened
cheesecloth along with the allspice, peppercorns, and rosemary.
Add the
cheesecloth bag, celery heart, brown sugar, vinegar and a little
salt to
the tomatoes and bring to a boil, stirring from time to time, over
high
heat.
Reduce the
heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 1 1/2 to
2 hours, or
until reduced by half.
Purée the
ketchup in a food mill and taste for seasoning. Return the
ketchup to
the kettle and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer
for 15
minutes.
Immediately pour the ketchup into sterilized jars and seal according
to
the manufacturer’s directions.
This ketchup will keep, refrigerated, for 2 weeks.
Makes
about 2 1/2 pints
Note:
Tomatoes can be very watery. If not reduced enough, a layer of
water will form in the bottom of the jars. If this should develop, unseal
the
jars and gently plunge a bulb baster to the bottom of the jar to
extract
the water.
