Homemade tomato ketchup

, , , ,

I always make this tomato ketchup in summer, when tomatoes are of abundance – from our garden or from the shop.

Tomato ketchup tastes very good with grilled chicken or turkey. If the weather is bad, we would roast the chicken in the oven and tomato ketchup shouldn’t be missing.

As bring along to BBQ parties.

 

 

 

It is very fruity, slightly sour and sweet in taste. Can not be compared with the normal ketchup in the supermarket. Our children are crazy about it.

I use very ripe tomatoes, gelling agent 3:1, for example…

 

Like jam, homemade ketchup should be stored in a cool, dark room or cellar. Used jars should be kept in the refrigerator.
