Today I want to tell you how to cook. Such ketchup not only tastes better than store-bought ketchup, but is also healthier at times. If the production of ketchup prepares their condensed tomato concentrate, thickeners and flavor enhancers, then at home you will prepare it from delicious and ripe ones.
It is known from the history of ketchup that its first recipes appeared in American cookbooks in the middle of the nineteenth century. A little later, at the beginning of the 20th century in the USA, Henry Heinz organized the production of ketchup on an industrial scale from thick tomato paste. And today the Heinz company is the largest producer of ketchup in the world. Homemade tomato ketchup can be prepared according to many recipes, which speaks volumes about the popularity of its production at home by housewives.
Today we will look at the classic tomato ketchup recipe.
Ingredients:
Juicy and fully ripe are perfect for making ketchup. Wash the tomatoes. Cut each tomato into several pieces.
Pass the tomatoes prepared in this way through a meat grinder.
Peel the onions.
Like tomatoes, cut the onions into several pieces and mince them.
Transfer the tomato puree and onion to the pot where the ketchup will be boiled. Mix the mass.
To make tomato ketchup at home spicy and aromatic, add spices to it. From spices, black ground pepper, thyme, paprika, and Provencal herbs are well suited.
Along with the spices for the pungency, I also add 2-3 rings of hot chili peppers.
In the event that you want to learn even spicy tomato ketchup, increase the amount of pepper. Stir the base of the future ketchup. Place the pot on the stove. Boil the tomato ketchup over low heat, stirring occasionally, for one hour.
After one hour, when the tomato mass has boiled down, has become softer and thicker, you can add flavor enhancers to it. In our case, these are salt, sugar and vinegar. As in the preparation of any other preparations for the winter, we use ordinary rock salt while cooking ketchup. Iodized salt is not suitable for making tomato ketchup.
As for sugar, its amount can be adjusted at your discretion. Personally, I like it when ketchup does not have a pronounced sour, but a slightly sour-sweet taste.
After adding salt and sugar, pour in the vinegar. Even a small amount of vinegar is a guarantee that the ketchup will not spoil and will keep well.
Be sure to taste the ketchup and adjust it however you like. If everything suits you, you can proceed to the next stage of its preparation - giving it a puree-like consistency. Beat the boiled tomatoes with a hand blender in mashed potatoes. After this procedure, our homemade tomato ketchup becomes closer and closer to the store-bought one, but not quite yet.
Many surmise that there are about the same amount of natural tomatoes in store-bought ketchup as there are real potatoes in potato chips. Nevertheless, the thick tomato sauce with spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves remains one of the best-selling in our country. What is there in the country - in the world. He is able to make everything as appetizing as possible: from fried meat to pasta. I don’t know about you, it’s quite difficult for me to stop using it. Therefore, while the season of fresh vegetables is in full swing, I propose to prepare homemade tomato ketchup for the winter. Lick your fingers - it turns out so tasty. In a sealed form, the seasoning is stored for more than 1 year, but when it is open, it is advisable to eat it for no more than 2-3 weeks. Natural ingredients without synthetic additives deteriorate faster. But don't worry, a half-liter jar “disappears” in a few days.
Meat, potatoes, pizza, and even a slice of ordinary bread with this sauce are much tastier! Try it! I guarantee you will lick all your fingers and ask for more. Fresh tomatoes + classic spices = perfect results.
Thank you very much for the recipe to mom Larisa!
Exit: about 1.25 liters of ready-made sauce.
To make a lot of thick sauce, use exceptionally well-ripened, fleshy, not watery tomatoes. From unripe, only a large amount of juice will turn out, which will evaporate during cooking. And there will be very little ready-made ketchup. Cut the tomatoes into small wedges. Place in a bowl (large saucepan). Peel the onion. Chop into small cubes. Put on tomato wedges, stir. Cover with a lid. |
|
Put on low heat. Simmer until soft (about 15 minutes). The vegetables will immediately juice up, so they will not burn. |
|
Use a metal sieve to smooth the tomato base. Rub soft vegetables through it. It will make a smooth, seedless and skinless puree. Wipe as thoroughly as possible - more pulp will end up in the bowl. |
|
Transfer the vegetable mixture back to the bowl (saucepan). Do not use a lid. Bring to a boil. Cook over low heat until the ketchup is 2-2.5 times cooked. |
|
Place ground cinnamon and pepper, as well as whole cloves and coriander seeds on cheesecloth folded several times. Tie the ends, make a pouch. Dip in boiling puree. The spices will give off their aroma, but at the same time they will be completely simple to extract from the finished product. |
|
Add sugar, salt and vinegar. Stir. Cook for another 5-7 minutes. The sauce will become even thicker. After the indicated time, remove the spice bag. |
|
Prepare jars (special bottles). I have a lot of 250 ml bottles of cream with lids. It is very convenient to store ketchups and other tomato sauces in them both until winter and for current use. Ordinary liter (half liter) jars are also suitable. Sterilize the jars (bottles). Boil the lids. Lay out the hot piece. Roll up. Turn over, check if the conservation is leaking. In this position, wrap the jars. |
|
After cooling, hide in a dark pantry, a cellar for the winter. Store opened ketchup in the refrigerator. But after opening it, it is advisable to eat it within 2-3 weeks. It contains only natural preservatives and has a shorter shelf life than a store product. |
It is difficult to imagine a combination of apples and tomatoes raw. But in this sauce, they "get along" perfectly. Apples are responsible not only for the taste, but also for the excellent thick consistency. Try it.
Exit: about 1.5 liters of workpiece.
Tomatoes must be ripe, soft and tasty. It is advisable to take apples with sourness, then the seasoning will turn out to be more tasty. Peel the onion. Cut each onion into 6-8 pieces. Cut out the coarse part of tomatoes. Cut into wedges. Remove seeds and tails from apples. You do not need to remove the peel. It contains pectin, a natural thickener that will allow you to get the perfect consistency in a short time. |
|
Grind all chopped components using a blender (meat grinder). Is the mass not quite uniform? Do not worry. After boiling, small pieces of vegetables will become soft, easily squeezed through a sieve. |
|
Transfer to a deep heat-resistant container. Place on medium heat. Reduce heat after boiling. Cook covered, stirring every 10-15 minutes, about 1 hour. |
|
Remove the cover. Cook for another 30-45 minutes. Most of the liquid will boil away. |
|
The most difficult stage is rubbing the boiled mass through a sieve to obtain a homogeneous consistency. But every minute of the time spent is worth it: homemade tomato and apple ketchup turns out to be very appetizing, you just lick your fingers. Having tried a spoon, I decided that it should be prepared for the winter not with cans, but with buckets. Return the grated sauce to the cooking bowl. |
|
Add sugar, salt, vinegar, and ground pepper. It is advisable to grind the peas personally. What is sold in bags contains a lot of small rubbish and does not have a special aroma. Also add the spices that make a regular red tomato sauce a real ketchup. These are cloves and cinnamon. You can put the cloves whole, and remove at the end of cooking. Otherwise, the aroma will be too concentrated. Or take only 2-3 cloves and grind with pepper. Stir. Cook after boiling for another 5-7 minutes, until you achieve the desired consistency. Add other seasonings if desired - hot pepper, coriander. |
|
Wash the jars (bottles). Sterilize or pour over boiling water several times. Place on a kitchen towel to drain the water. Fill the container. Roll up with sterile dry caps. Cool upside down under an unnecessary blanket. |
|
After cooling, hide it for storage in the cellar, pantry, refrigerator. You open a jar of such real ketchup in winter and you enjoy the natural smell of tomatoes and spices. And the taste - you wobble - not just want to lick your fingers, but also bite off your tongue with pleasure. |
It is difficult to resist licking your fingers when in front of you is a whole jar of delicious homemade sauce with a pleasant, spicy, piquant taste. Bulgarian pepper adds a special touch, garlic adds a slight pungency, and herbs of Provence add a Mediterranean flavor.
Exit: about 1.75-2 liters.
Rubbing the sauce components through a sieve is not an easy and pleasant task. Especially when there are plans to prepare a large amount of conservation. Got a dedicated food processor attachment? You are very lucky. I don't have such a nozzle, so I decided to make it easier for myself and conduct an experiment. Tomato peel contains the bulk of pectin, a thickener. If you remove it, the ketchup will not thicken. But I still decided to check it and peeled off the skin. Rubbing tomato pulp is faster and easier. The sauce thickened, by the way, good. Blanch the vegetables to separate the flesh from the skin. Make a crosswise incision. Dip in boiling water. Blanch for 3-4 minutes. To reduce cooling time, transfer to ice (immerse in ice water). The skin comes off easily. Cut the tomatoes into large wedges. |
|
I also decided to peel the bell peppers from the film. Therefore, I baked it in a heat-resistant bag. By the way, you can put in raw pods and ignore what I'll write in this paragraph. Wash the vegetable. Place it in a baking bag. Send to an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes. The same result will be obtained when cooking in a microwave oven (900 W, 7-10 minutes). To prevent the bag from bursting, make cuts in several places with a knife. Cool the pods slightly. Remove ponytails, seeds. Remove the skin. Slice at random. |
|
I used sweet salad onions. But ordinary, yellow, white will do. Peel the bulbs. Divide each into 4-8 pieces. |
|
Grind the ingredients with a blender or meat grinder. |
|
For cooking, use pans with a thick bottom so that the mass less burns. Send it to the stove over medium heat. When the sauce has boiled, screw the burner back on. Cook for 1.5-2 hours, until the mass is boiled down to a classic thickness. |
|
Remove the seeds by rubbing the chopped vegetables through a metal sieve. Return the blank to the fire. A hand blender will help you achieve a perfectly smooth consistency. Additionally use it after rubbing (optional). |
|
Add the remaining ingredients - salt, sugar, vinegar, dried and fresh spices. Chop the garlic finely with a knife (crush with a press). Stir. Cook for another 5-7 minutes after boiling. |
|
Place in prepared containers. Since preservation is not sterilized, use sterile, dry cans, bottles, lids. Place containers of ketchup on top of the lids to check for leaks. After checking, wrap the blank with an unnecessary blanket. Put the cooled sauce in a cool dark place (refrigerator, cellar, pantry). |
|
But you can enjoy it right away, without waiting for winter. Ketchup comes out fragrant, piquant due to the use of ripe tomato fruits, fresh garlic, Provencal herbs. The shelf life of closed conservation is more than 1 year. I advise you to harvest it a lot - it disappears very quickly. |
