Around this time of year we end up with a glut of tomatoes and its difficult to decide what to do with them. This year, I've made batches of tomato ketchup and although I say it myself, its very good!!
Ingredients:
- 3kg of ripened tomatoes
- 1 tsp of celery salt
- 1 tbsp of salt
- 2 tsp of paprika (spicy)
- 250gm of granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 300ml of white wine vinegar
After washing the tomatoes and removing any stalks, chop them and simmer in a pan to pulp up the tomatoes. Don't worry about skinning and deseeding - this will be done in a bit.
When fully pulped, using a fine sieve, pass the pulp through the sieve and then, in a clean pan, add the remaining ingredients.
Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Stir occasionally.
Reduce the puree until it is nice and thick and then ladle out into sterilised bottles.
