Every year I try to close as many jars of this homemade ketchup as possible, because it’s hundreds of times tastier than store-bought and completely natural.
It’s very easy to make, and there won’t be any complications. In my family, this ketchup is eaten very quickly; there’s never enough left until spring.
INGREDIENTS:
- Tomatoes – 3 kg
- Apples – 0.5 kg
- Onions – 0.25 kg
- Salt – 1.5 tablespoons
- Sugar – 1.5 cups
- Apple cider vinegar – 50 g
- Black and red pepper – to taste
PREPARATION:
- Chop all ingredients and cook until the onion is soft.
- Grind the mixture with a blender (pass it through a fine sieve if desired) and cook until the desired thickness, about 50 minutes.
- At the end of cooking, add salt, sugar, pepper to taste, and apple cider vinegar. Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from burning.
- Remove from heat and pour into prepared jars, then roll up.
ROLLING PROCESS:
- Roll up the ketchup while it’s hot.
- Turn the jars upside down and let them cool.
- Store homemade ketchup in the cellar or refrigerator.
OPTIONS:
- Add sweet apples and you get the Krasnodar sauce from your childhood.
- Use sour apples for natural Heinz.
- For a spicy kick, add a head of garlic and a mix of black, red, white, and pink peppercorns—you’ll have a real delicacy that men will especially appreciate!
This simple recipe guarantees incredibly delicious results. Enjoy!
