Heinz Tomato Sauce/Ketchup - secret recipe adaption

[squirrel]

I have made a few more test batches in consultation with the world expert tomato sauce taste tester (DH).  I have adjusted the recipe slightly (adjustments made in original).  I have reduced the amount of honey and increased the sugar slightly. 
He was rapped with the last batch so I may have conquered the mountain and made it to the summit  LOL

We are happy when we get to the summit squirrel - especially if we have tried a recipe several times to get it just right.  Good for you for persevering until DH gave it the thumbs up.

Couldn't you put it in the old bottle fundj and see if anybody notices?

[fundj&e]

How would you go when starting with fresh tomatoes instead of tomato paste? I can not have processed tomatoes in my diet due to allergy

Stef, see the link for MJ's tomato passata - read all the postings and you will come across one which was inadvertently turned into tomato paste.

I'm intrigued uni, did you have that pic on hand or did you go and make some to take a pic?

[fundj&e]

  thats funny GP 

no i didnt make it today

i tried another ketchup recipe from the forum here, but the cinnamon taste is just a big too much.

i dried some unions a while ago and can cook down some tomatoes to make tomato paste any time i can find the time..
so i definitely will try this.. just one other question.. why let it cool in the bowl with the lid on? i would expect you want to thicken it a little by removing the lid ..

This sounds like something my son would appreciate, only my supermarket doesn't sell Garlic or Onion Powder   

Will have to look next time I'm in the 'big city' ..  Thank-You for sharing though!

[Frozzie]

Will need to try as my family isnt keen on other ketchup recipes either......

[stef]

Trying this tomorrow with super ripe small tomatoes instead of tomatopaste.. I guess the coooking down will take alot longer though.. Any ideas how many i will need compared to the paste and how long i may varoma them?
