3613.0. "Ketchup" by DKAS::FEASE (Andrea Midtmoen Fease) Tue Aug 25 1992 13:59

         Does anyone have a recipe for Ketchup?  I have fresh garden
    tomatoes and would like to put them to use.  I looked in the Joy of
    Cooking, but their recipe says that the stuff must be canned, and I
    have no canning equipment (can't afford it this year).  I need
    something that can either be frozen or put into empty Heinz Ketchup
    Bottles ;^) .
    
         Thanks!

    I have one at home. Can post here on Monday.
    
    
3613.2WILL BE HERE TOMORROW!!!DENVER::WEINGARTENWed Sep 02 1992 13:489
    I am sorry!! I was at a customer site all day Monday and Tuesday and
    forgot about the recipe. I will bring it in tomorrow and post here first
    thing! If it helps any I think the recipe calls for "ripe" tomatoes. I
    also know that if you keep them in a cool dark place they will not
    overripen as quickly.

Can you perhaps change the title of this topic to "Ketchup" instead of 
"Recipe for ..." - easier to find again in the index.

Thanks,

3613.4RECIPE TO THE RESCUE!!DENVER::WEINGARTENThu Sep 03 1992 10:1233
    Here you go!
    
    	1 Cup White Vinegar
    	1 1/2 Inches stick cinnamon, broken into pieces
    	1 1/2 Teaspoons Whole Cloves
    	1 Teaspoon Celery Seed
    	8 Pounds Ripe Tomatoes (24 Medium)
    	1/2 Cup Onion, Finely Chopped
    	1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne
    	1 Cup Sugar
    	4 Teaspoons Salt
    
    Preparation: In saucepan mix first 4 ingredients. Cover, and bring to
    boil. Remove from heat. Wash, core and quarter tomatoes. Drain in a
    colander, Discard liquid. Place tomatoes in a large kettle. Add onion
    and cayenne. Bring to boil and cook 15 minutes stirring continually.
    Put mixture through a food mill discarding seeds and skins. Add sugar
    to tomato puree. Bring to a boil again simmering about 1 1/2 to 2 hours
    or till reduced by half. Strain vinegar mixture into tomatoes,
    discarding spices. Add salt and simmer about 30 minutes or till desired
    consistency is reached (stir often during this process to avoid
    scorching).  Makes approximately 2 pints.
    
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    After the above cooking process you can either can the ketchup using
    the water-bath method (10 minutes for pint jars). or you can cool and
    fill containers for freezer storage (recommended freezer storage time
    10 to 12 months).
    
    ENJOY!
     
     
                                    
3613.5Another SuggestionDENVER::WEINGARTENThu Sep 03 1992 10:1910
    I forgot this little suggestion - 
    
    In the past, when all my tomatoes seemed to ripen at the same time I
    washed, blanched and froze them (whole tomatoes) individually on 
    cookie sheets. Finally I placed the frozen tomatoes in large freezer bags. 
    This allowed me to take out and thaw as many tomatoes as I need for stews,
    soups, sauces, etc. Works great and really saves time compared to
    canning!

3613.7Back to the Original QuestionLANDO::EBENSMary Jean Ebens - BXB2-2/G06Thu Sep 10 1992 12:456
    As a child I always loved canned salmon because I could eat the bones
    (I guess because of the canning process).  
    
    Never could get my kids to like it though.

    I thought the original question was how to make ketchup?

Doesn't this belong with the "Fish for the Truly Ignorant" topic in 
which we have been treated to dissertations on what constitutes bone?


Mod?

3613.10V8 catsupROBOAT::HEBERTCaptain BlighTue Sep 15 1992 15:205
A few years ago I tried some V8 catsup that I had found in a store. It
was GREAT! But I believe it was being test-marketed, and wasn't
mass-produced. Has anyone else ever seen this? It had the V8 logo etc...
