Ketchup from My Way of Cooking- Review

[Meagan]

Pg 183 of MWOC
Easy recipe. Obviously not a completely smooth texture like store bought tomato sauce and a different taste than what we are used to. 
But we won't be buying store bought tomato sauce anymore  was loved by all the males in the house (2small and DH) I loved it too.
We had just over 1kg (30/40g extra) of tomatoes but I recommend staying to the exact measurements as we had tomato spewing out the hole of the lid. Once I removed 1 MC of the mix it was fine. Cooked right down and the spices milled smooth at the end.
5/5 for us

I totally agree with this Meagan - I made it the day before yesterday and it is an absolute winner.

I have yet to find a tomato sauce recipe that suits my tastebuds, so 5/5 sounds good.  Any chance of a recipe PM?

[JulieO]

Yes I have to agree, have tried lots but just can't seem to find one that's like the store bought.   

[cottchick]

I have sent you a PM katesjoy - let me know if it didn't go through.
I find this one very similar to the shop bought one, maybe a little thicker is all.

  thanks Serena, I got it    Can't wait to try it

Meagan or cottchick, the recipe says it makes 2 jars but didn't say what sized jars they are - can you enlighten us please. Sounds like another item for the hampers.

[cottchick]

I had some jam jars (not big ones but not the tiny ones) and it made 4 of those. Yes it would be prefect for hampers!!

[Zan]

Oh I'd love this recipe too please.

I have a bowl of this cooking away now. The boys and I are fans of chunky homemade sauce (although the boys are crazy about relish on everything at the moment ), but I still buy sauce for hubby. Fingers crossed he will approve!!!

Thanks for the great review Meagan

On it's way Zan.

Oh Cottchick, I'd love a copy too please (if it's not too much trouble). My daughter is addicted to shop bought tomato sauce and I'm yet to find a recipe for something similar to get her off all the 'extras' in it.

TIA

[JulieO]

Could I please have the recipe too.

Judy mine cooked down quite a lot. I put half in a squeezy bottle and the rest in a jar. I think I should have looked at it towards the end of the second stage of cooking but was busy cooking sausages   the sauce was to have with our dinner as we had run out and I didn't want to go and buy some from the shops. I think they are 250ml jars so approximately 2 of this size or 4 100ml ones.

Thanks for that info, I am definitely going to make this when my bottle runs out.

On it's way JulieO.
