Today I want to tell you how to cook. This ketchup not only surpasses the taste of the store, but it is also more useful at times. If ketchup prepares their condensed tomato concentrate, thickeners and flavor enhancers, then at home you will prepare it from tasty and ripe ones.
From the history of the appearance of ketchup, it is known that its first recipes appeared in American cookbooks in the mid-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, Heinz is the largest producer of ketchups from all over the world. Tomato ketchup at home can be prepared according to many recipes, which eloquently speaks of the popularity of its production by housewives.
Today we look at the classic tomato ketchup recipe.
Ingredients:
For the preparation of ketchup juicy and fully ripe are perfect. Wash the tomatoes. Cut each tomato into several pieces.
Pass the tomatoes thus prepared through a meat grinder.
Peel the onions.
Like tomatoes, cut the onions into several pieces and pass through a meat grinder.
Transfer the tomato puree and onion into the pot in which ketchup will be cooked. Mix the mass.
To make tomato ketchup at home spicy and fragrant, add spices to it. Of the spices, black ground pepper, thyme, paprika, Provence herbs are well suited.
Together with spices for spiciness I also add 2-3 rings of hot chili pepper.
In the event that you want to learn an even sharper tomato ketchup, increase the amount of pepper. Mix the foundation of future ketchup. Place the pan on the stove. Over low heat, with occasional stirring, boil tomato ketchup for one hour.
After one hour, when the tomato mass was boiled, it became softer and denser, you can add flavor enhancers to it. In our case, it is salt, sugar and vinegar. As during the preparation of any other workpieces for the winter, when cooking ketchup, we use ordinary rock salt. 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, add vinegar. Even a small amount of vinegar is a guarantee that ketchup will not deteriorate and will be well stored.
Be sure to taste the ketchup and adjust it as you like. If everything suits you, you can go to the next stage of its preparation - giving it a mashed consistency. Beat boiled tomatoes with a hand blender in mashed potatoes. After this procedure, our homemade tomato ketchup is getting closer and closer to a store ketchup, but not quite yet.
If there are a lot of tomatoes, then they can be processed and stored. How to cook a delicious homemade ketchup for winter read and look further.

What sauce is best served with pasta, stew, potatoes, pilaf? Of course, ketchup.
In addition, from it you can make sandwiches, pizza, savory pastries and much more. And it will be doubly tastier to use homemade homemade sauce. Eating such yummy is even more pleasant and healthy. After all, you can guarantee the quality of products and production, and most importantly, home ketchup contains an important and indispensable ingredient - love and a piece of your soul. And it is worth a lot.
When buying and eating ketchup in stores, many people think that making it at home is difficult and, in general, impossible. In fact, this is not at all the case.
The composition includes, of course, tomatoes and other simple products. Most often these are apples, onions, bell peppers and other vegetables and fruits. By adjusting seasonings, salt and sugar, you can bring out your ideal tomato sauce.
Cooking it is not difficult. To do this, it is enough to have a meat grinder or blender, a cooking pan and ingredients on the list. Now that the garden is full of crops, I will introduce you to the three most delicious and easiest ways to prepare ketchup for the winter.
This ketchup is the dream of spicy lovers. It turns out he is very rich and piquant. Those seasonings and hot peppers that are listed in the list of ingredients, you can adjust to your taste. After adding all the ingredients, be sure to try and draw conclusions about the taste. Then your sauce will be the best.
1. Wash tomatoes well. For ketchup, you can use any fruit, even the most "ugly". The main thing is that they are ripe and not spoiled. After washing, they need to be twisted in a meat grinder.
2. Onion cut into large half rings or whetstones. The accuracy of the shredder is not needed here. In the cooking process, after cooking, the onion will still be processed into a puree state.
3. Pour tomato mass into a saucepan for cooking, put onion and all seasonings from the list, except for vinegar. Chili peppers are optional. You can send it to the cooking directly with the tail. The main thing is to rinse it well. Mix everything and put on fire. After the mass is bubbling, you need to reduce the power to slightly below average and boil for 1 hour. At the same time, it is necessary to stir occasionally so that the contents do not burn.
4. Place a sieve over a high plate and recline the cooked mass. Put the juice from it to the side, and wipe the vegetables with a spoon directly in the sieve. Cake can be thrown out, and put the mashed mass on fire and boil for about 30-50 minutes until the desired density. If at the initial stage the mixture seems too thick, you can add juice from a plate.
5. A minute before removing from heat, add vinegar and mix. Pour the finished sauce into sterile jars and clog them.
For long and high-quality preservation, banks and lids must be sterilized. Additional processing will be a kind of bath for ketchup in banks. After seaming, they need to be turned on the covers and wrapped in a warm blanket. Until the next morning, the sauce has cooled completely and can be transferred to the basement.
Ketchup can be stored all winter in a cool and dry place.
Now we will prepare a delicious ketchup. Thanks to the presence of sweet pepper and plums, it turns out to be just fantastic. Imagine this alliance when tomatoes and onions are boiled in the same pot with these products!
Bulgarian pepper provides a unique aroma, plum gives a sweet and sour shade, and seasonings complement the picture. Give it a try!
1. Pepper to clear of viscera. Remove the stone from the plums. Have a tomato cut a crust from the stalk. Peel the onion. Hot pepper can not be peeled from seeds. Cut all these products into pieces convenient for twisting in a meat grinder.
2. Pass them through the fine grinder of the meat grinder and put on the stove. First set a strong fire, before boiling, and then reduce to medium, closer to the minimum.
3. The mass must be boiled for 1.5-2 hours. Then wipe it through a sieve. Throw the cake, and boil the sauce for another hour, until thickened. Add all the other products from the list and again obscure on the stove for half an hour.
4. After the mass reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and pour into sterile jars. Immediately after this, they must be corked and flipped to the covers. Set under the "fur coat" and leave overnight. Ketchup can be tried already after cooling, or you can save it for the winter.
1. Wash the tomatoes and pour boiling water for 3-5 minutes. After such a procedure, they are easy to clean. Peel the peel, and chop the tomatoes arbitrarily. Peel and chop the apples the same. Similar to do with onions and hot peppers.
2. Pour oil into a saucepan, put tomatoes, apples and onions. One tomato must be left for the next step. It, along with bitter pepper and a tablespoon of salt, must be ground in a blender and set aside.
3. Boil the mass over medium heat until the apples are soft. Once they become soft, you need to pour pepper chopped with tomato. Add 3-4 tablespoons of granulated sugar and mix. Cook for 40-60 minutes until the excess moisture evaporates.
4. Cool slightly and rinse the sauce with a blender. If you plan to use ketchup not for storage, then you can start now if you are comfortable with the density.
5. If it seems liquid to you, boil until tender. For storage for the winter, the crushed mass must be boiled for another 20-40 minutes until the desired density, add vinegar and pour into clean jars.
6. Turn over onto the lids and cover hot with a warm blanket. The next day, you can transfer them to storage in the basement.
