Ketchup from My Way of Cooking- Review

[Debbiebillg]

I just made this again today and because of how it stained the lid last time I rubbed some olive oil over the inside and outside of the lid and it's much, much easier to clean and hasn't really stained.  Just a tip for next time.  For anyone who hasn't made it before, it spills out to the top of the lid so hence you need to oil both sides.

Great tip Debbie.  It helps to wash things pretty quickly too and not leave them sit around for too long.

Hi JD - is there any chance of getting you to send the ketchup recipe from MWOC on to me also.

Thanks....thanks....thanks....

[judydawn]

We are back to the tomatoes everywhere stage so this, plus every other tomato based dish I can find has been made - Chelsea's consultant's tomato relish recipe is an accompaniment for everything during this time - yummmmm   

[faffa_70]

if you like to make tomato based dishes (we live on them in winter either in the TMX or the slow cooker) then I can HIGHLY recommend Chelsea's Condensed Tomato Soup too. 

[johnro]

That soup from Chelsea is also a regular for us during the cooler months, faffa  - unfortunately we have not had any sign of winter in C.Q. yet already I have tomatoes in the freezer ready and waiting.

You seem to be up early Johnro

I finally made this yesterday with much success.  I did follow Chelsea's tip of using raw sugar and water instead of honey as in the past I have found an after taste when making ketchup which we didn't like, so didn't want to take a risk on this recipe. 

I only used 1/2 tsp sweet paprika and a small pinch cayenne and I would stick with this next time, there was a bit of a bite but not too much,  it was all rather perfect.

It has cooked down quite a bit like others have said, sort of tomato paste like, but it's really lovely and I can imagine using a dollop of it in cooking.

All in all  a great ketchup recipe that I am very happy with.  5/5.

I would like to make this, but ds will only eat masterfoods sauce, is the flavour very different? Also it would have to be smooth, he hates raw tomatoes so any chunks would turn him right off.

It's very smooth Hally but I can't remember what the master foods one tastes like as it has been about 4 years lol.

What I did have to do with mine with the peanut butter was mix the two together for a while and slowly wean them back, you could try that with CP  if he didn't like it. It is a lot thicker than a shop sauce.

[Bonsai]

I get the old masterfoods (or which ever brand you use) container, clean it out and refill with the home made stuff. Have fooled them a lot with this   

[faffa_70]

That is how I have both tomato and BBQ sauce, didn't fool them but I also left them no choice lol so they got over it
