I have been making homemade ketchup according to this recipe for several years. This sauce is suitable for any dishes. And how he simply prepares! In winter, you will regret that you didn't do much, so cook more immediately!
Ingredients:
- tomatoes - 4 kg
- apples - 1 kg
- onion - 600 g
- salt - 2 tbsp. l.
- sugar - 100 g (first add 100 g, then taste and add to your taste!)
- black pepper - 0,5 tsp.
- Suneli hops - 0,5 tsp.
- paprika - 1 tsp.
- apple cider vinegar 6% - 50 ml
We must sterilize the jars, I do it in the oven: 10 minutes at a temperature of 100 degrees
Boil the lids for 5 minutes
Preparation:
Wash the tomatoes well, cut them in half, remove the stem and cut them into slices. Transfer the chopped tomatoes to a large saucepan.
Cut the onion into cubes.
Wash the apples well, cut them, remove the core with seeds and cut them into small pieces. We do not clean the skin! Put the apples in a saucepan.
Tomatoes for ketchup are ripe, sweet and red, sour apples - sweet varieties!
We put the pan on the fire, bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes. This time is quite enough for apples and onions to become soft.
Now this is an important point: in order not to cook ketchup for a long time, I put tomatoes, onions and apples on a sieve, so we get rid of excess liquid, and if the tomatoes are ripe, fleshy, then there will be a lot of liquid.
Put the boiled tomatoes, onions and apples back into the pan and grind them with an immersion blender. Pass the resulting puree through a sieve.
Use a whisk, then the whole process will take no more than 3 minutes!
Pour the tomato puree into a saucepan, put on a slow fire. Add salt, sugar, black pepper, paprika, hops - sunili. Stir, bring to a boil over low heat, then cook for 40 minutes.
You can adjust the spices and seasonings to your taste! From my experience, I do not advise adding only cinnamon to homemade ketchup.
Then add apple cider vinegar, mix, bring homemade ketchup to a boil and remove from heat. Pour the ketchup into sterile jars and close tightly with boiled lids.
We turn all the blanks over and cover them, leave them like this until they cool completely, then put them away for storage.
