Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
It wasn't until a week ago that I discovered how good homemade ketchup can be. Wonderfully sweet tomatoes, hint of spice, and just enough tang from apple cider vinegar.
My objective with this homemade ketchup was to use neither exotic ingredients nor flavorings but to achieve the perfectly smooth, thick texture of Heinz or Hunt’s while preserving more of the fresh tomato taste than they do.--Jefferry Steingarten
I have been tomatoes crazy lately! I made a small batch of curried yellow tomato jam, then made a much bigger batch, pureed it and voila! Amazing ketchup.
