Homemade “sweet” ketchup

  • Tomatoes – 2 kilograms.
  • Tomato paste – 200 grams.
  • Onions – 3 pieces, it is better to choose large onions.
  • Boiled water – 1 liter.
  • Sugar – 200 grams.
  • Salt – 2 tablespoons.
  • Peppercorns - 20 pieces.
  • Dry mustard – 2 tablespoons.
  • Cloves – 10 pieces.

Boil the tomatoes, remove the skin and pass through a blender or meat grinder. Peel the onion and chop it the same way. Place the tomato mixture and onion in a saucepan, add water, and cook for about half an hour. Then add tomato paste, salt and sugar, mustard and cloves, pepper. Cook everything for about 1 hour.

When the ketchup is ready, pass it through cheesecloth until it becomes homogeneous. Cook it for another 10 minutes after boiling, adding vinegar and stirring occasionally. Let cool and put into jars, hide in the refrigerator.

Wash the sweet paprika, cut it, remove the stalk, seeds and white membrane. Cut into arbitrary pieces, not very finely. Place in a saucepan with a thick bottom.

Peel the onion, chop it finely and place it in a saucepan with our paprika.

We also peel the garlic, lightly chop it and add it to the pan.


We take ripe, fleshy varieties of tomatoes. The more watery the tomatoes, the longer it will take to simmer the sauce, and, as a result, you will get much less ketchup.

This is the third time I have used a juicer to make homemade ketchup. I have a powerful one, but, in any case, I pass the pulp again 3 or even 4 times until I see that there is literally a glass of cake left - seeds and skins - and it is quite dry.

It is impossible to say how much juice you will get, since its amount depends on the variety of tomatoes. This time I got about 4.5-5 liters. The yield of the initial product - ketchup - is approximately 2 liters.

If you don’t have a good juicer, wash the tomatoes and pour boiling water over them. Next, after about a minute (a little less), drain the boiling water and fill the tomatoes with cold water. Hold them for another 30 seconds. After these manipulations, the skin is removed quickly and without problems. We also cut out the stalk. Then we cut them randomly and put them in a pan.

But, let's return to the option with a juicer. I directly throw in the whole tomatoes (the juicer allows it), without even removing the stalk, of course, if it is not visually too large.


Add tomato juice to the pan where paprika, onion and garlic are already located and put on fire. Bring to a boil and cook over low heat for about an hour and a half. Do not cover the pan with a lid, let the water evaporate and the mixture thicken.


Next, take an immersion blender and puree everything until smooth. The mixture is thickening quite a bit, but still not thick enough. Return to the heat for at least another hour, and then you will add all the spices. By the way, when you already see that the ketchup is almost the same consistency as you wanted, it’s time to turn it off, because after cooling it will become a little thicker.


Now for the spices. Apart from smoked paprika there is nothing unusual. I took mustard in peas and ground it in a coffee grinder. By the way, I ground it not finely enough, so in my ketchup you can see yellow inclusions, which do not interfere at all, but slightly spoil the appearance. So you can easily buy it already ground and take about 1 tablespoon. Grind the cloves and allspice too.


At the end of cooking, when you already see that our homemade ketchup thickened enough, pour all the spices into the pan, mix and taste. Now is the time to adjust the taste. And vinegar! Add vinegar. Now try it. As for me, there is enough of everything here, but you see for yourself, decide for yourself. And our ketchup is ready. Pour hot into sterilized jars and enjoy for your health.

A little about sterilized jars. I always wash them with baking soda, rinse thoroughly with hot water, and then put them in the microwave at full power for about three minutes. That's it, the banks are ready. I simply pour boiling water over the lids.

It (ketchup) is in my basement, but it was never stored for more than a month or two - it was eaten. Once opened, keep in the refrigerator only. Bon appetit!

There is nothing complicated or mysterious about making homemade ketchup, it’s just that the word sounds foreign! If you learn a few simple rules, then you can not open the recipe at all and cook from your head all your life.

These are the basic rules:

  1. Tomatoes should be at least half of the total volume of vegetables.
  2. There is no place for skins and seeds in ketchup; either remove them through blanching or boil them in own juice and roll it back on the sieve, there is no other way.
  3. Don’t be afraid to roll it out on a sieve, it just sounds scary, but it only takes about fifteen minutes.
  4. Ketchup should be homogeneous, so we use ground seasonings, and if it’s fresh herbs, it’s best to chop it into dust in a food processor.
  5. There is no place for water in ketchup - therefore it is necessary to boil for a long time to evaporate excess moisture.
  6. You can use non-standard tomatoes, with blemishes and cracks, the main thing is to trim everything carefully.
  7. The more vinegar and spices, the spicier the result.
  8. The more sugar, the sweeter the taste.
  9. Plums and apples will add acidity and in such recipes you can do without vinegar altogether if you put it in almost boiling jars.
  10. Seasonings like cilantro and coriander, and Provençal herbs are not for everyone; not everyone likes them.
  11. Basil will not spoil ketchup and will not stand out as a special taste.
  12. Ketchup jars must be sterile and dry.
  13. You can use yellow tomatoes and then the sauce will turn out to be an unusual sunny color.

Well, that’s basically it, don’t be afraid to get creative in the kitchen and bring something new to dishes that are already known to everyone!

Its taste will even surpass store-bought ones, and even a child can be treated to such a delicacy.

Sauce from distant shores

It was not the Italians who were the first to think about how to make ketchup at home! The whole world is convinced that this dish belongs to Mediterranean cuisine. In fact, the first ketchup was made by the Chinese. This happened at the end of the 17th century. True, there were no tomatoes in it, as in all of China. It was called ke-tsiap and was prepared from salted fish, shellfish and spices. This sauce came to Europe several decades later.

Only 100 years later, tomatoes appeared in ketchup. We need to thank the British culinary specialist Richard Brigg for this - it was he who came up with the idea of ​​​​replacing the fish base, which was unusual for Europeans, with tomatoes. The dish he prepared instantly gained popularity, and tomato ketchup has since firmly held its position in the refrigerators and hearts of people around the world. What is the merit of Italy and does it exist at all? The Italians, not being the inventors of ketchup, show true love for this sauce. He firmly entered them national cuisine. And now we can’t imagine traditional Italian pasta or pizza without ketchup.

Many of our fellow citizens remember “Krasnodar Sauce” made from tomatoes. It’s hard to say whether it was a variation of the European ketchup recipe, or whether Soviet chefs themselves invented it again. But one thing is indisputable - he enjoyed and continues to enjoy popular love.

What to make ketchup from

Perhaps in Asia they still make ketchup from fish... But most fans still associate this sauce with a tomato base. There are many recipes and ways to make ketchup at home. They have one thing in common - they are based on tomatoes. In addition to them, onions, garlic, bell peppers and rotunda, apples, zucchini, eggplants, herbs, and many seasonings are used for cooking.

Necessary equipment and tools

Ideally, you should use a juicer to make ketchup. The best homemade ketchups are made not from the tomatoes themselves, but from tomato juice. There should be no seeds or peel in it, only pulp and juice. You can puree the tomatoes using a food processor or even an immersion blender. Modern technology operating at high speeds can crush the seeds so much that they will not be visible in the finished sauce. A regular meat grinder cannot do this.

A double boiler can be a good help. If you steam the tomatoes before making ketchup at home and then immerse them in cold water, you can easily remove the skin from them. The resulting tomatoes are passed through a fine sieve to separate the seeds.

In addition, you will need a cooking pan, a cutting board, and a knife.

Classic tomato ketchup recipe

Let's try to make ketchup at home, the recipe for which is quite simple. To prepare it you will need tomatoes, sugar, salt, garlic, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper. If desired, you can add hot red pepper.

Product proportions:

  • tomatoes - 1 kg;
  • sugar - 50 g;
  • salt - a pinch;
  • 9% vinegar - 20 g;
  • cloves - 4 pieces;
  • peppercorns: black, white, allspice - only 5-6 peas;
  • clove of garlic;
  • cinnamon and nutmeg - on the tip of a knife;
  • small bay leaf;
  • red hot pepper to taste.

Preparation

  1. Before making ketchup at home, get rid of the crusts and chop the tomatoes. You can immerse them in boiling water for a few seconds and then pour cold water over them. It is convenient to use a double boiler. And from some varieties of tomatoes the skin can be removed easily.
  2. Place the tomatoes in a food processor or blender and grind into minced meat.
  3. Pour into a saucepan and set to cook. By the end of cooking, we should have 2/3 of the original volume left. This will take at least an hour.
  4. Prepare the spices. Pass the garlic through a grinder. Grind the pepper.
  5. An hour after boiling, add salt, sugar, spices and garlic to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. At the very end, add vinegar, let it boil and turn it off.
  7. Transfer to a jar and let cool.

This is how ketchup is made at home. The recipe also suggests the possibility of preparing it for the winter. To do this, pour the hot sauce into jars and roll up. This workpiece does not require further sterilization.

Tomato and pepper ketchup

You can diversify the classic recipe with other ingredients. This is especially true in the summer-autumn period, when aromatic seasonal vegetables just beg to be served on the table. Bell peppers are great for making ketchup. They can replace a quarter to a third of a tomato. You can add the onion to the sauce. Before you make ketchup at home, you need to simmer it in a frying pan. Stewed carrots are often added to ketchup along with the onion - it thickens the consistency and gives the sauce an amber tint. Adding fresh chopped herbs to homemade tomato ketchup will make it aromatic and healthy. There is no point in experimenting with rolling up such ketchup for the winter.

A little exotic

When all your friends learn about how to make ketchup at home, you can still surprise and delight them with a new recipe. For example, make sweet and sour ketchup from exotic fruits!

Product proportions:

  • homemade tomatoes - 1 kg;
  • onion - 500 g;
  • garlic - 5-6 cloves;
  • medium size pineapple - 1 piece;
  • sunflower or olive oil - 100 g;
  • salt, sugar, spices to taste.

Preparation

  1. Cut onions and tomatoes into cubes.
  2. Heat oil in a saucepan and fry the onion. Add tomatoes and half the garlic. Continue simmering.
  3. After 40 minutes, place the mixture in a bowl and let cool.
  4. Add chopped pineapple, remaining garlic, spices. You don’t need to add sugar to this homemade tomato ketchup, because it already turns out quite sweet.
  5. Puree the mixture with a blender.

The chilled sauce can be served immediately. It should be stored in the refrigerator, in a sealed container.

Improvisation on the theme of ketchup

You don't always have the required ingredient on hand. And sometimes there is some product in the refrigerator that inspires culinary experiments. It is quite possible to add a piece of broccoli, avocado, a small pear or a sour apple to ketchup. Sweet plums add a special charm to the sauce. Vinegar can be replaced with lemon juice - this will make the sauce more tender. In any case, you should not just put the new ingredient in a saucepan, but replace some of the tomatoes with it.

How to make tomato ketchup for the winter?

Typically, ketchup prepared according to the classic recipe stores well. It is not necessary to move it to the cellar or basement. An ordinary pantry in a city apartment will preserve summer aromas until winter. Like other preparations, ketchup can be sealed in jars with screw caps. The role of preservatives is played by vinegar and salt. Thorough disinfection of containers is very important for the safety of the product. It is best to wash the jars with soda and then steam them. You can place them in the old fashioned way on a special stand over a saucepan of boiling water. And the presence in the kitchen modern technology simplifies the process as much as possible. For example, a dishwasher can both wash and disinfect jars on its own. The steamer handles containers perfectly.

What to serve with homemade ketchups

Of course, the classic of the genre is pasta drenched in aromatic tomato sauce. This sauce goes well with meat and fish dishes, dumplings and salted dumplings, and fried pies. More complex sauces can be prepared using homemade ketchup: filling for cabbage rolls, meatballs, stewed fish. You can combine it with mayonnaise or sour cream and stew the bird in it. It will add expressiveness and flavor to a delicate omelette. It is great for cooking dishes in pots. This sauce can also be added to mushroom or vegetable caviar. An unusual use for homemade ketchup can be adding it to the brine for pickling herring “Korean style”. Well, don’t forget about its intended use - for pizza, shawarma, hot dogs.

In winter, an open jar of homemade ketchup will perfectly liven up any family dinner. This sauce, especially prepared with your own hands from ripe summer tomatoes, even festive table will take pride of place.

Hello everyone!

I think everyone knows that sauces enhance and complement dishes. And the most trendy one is ketchup! You can eat literally anything with it - meat, cutlets, dumplings, spaghetti, pasta, jellied meat and many other dishes, this is not the whole list.

But the more varieties of this sauce appear on supermarket shelves, the less natural products can be found in their composition. Just preservatives, E-shki, sweeteners and dyes - in a word, everything that a person should not consume at all.

But there is a way out! We'll make ketchup ourselves, then we'll know for sure what it consists of. After all, a home-made product can be given even to children who love it so much. However, it has one huge drawback - it is incredibly tasty and you need to prepare more. A couple of jars are not enough, check!

And if you are planning huge harvest tomatoes, I recommend closing them also, and special attention take a moment, they are very tasty.

Now I propose to get down to business, choose the recipe you like and prepare this gravy for your family and friends. All recipes deserve your attention.

After all, homemade sauce without all kinds of additives and preservatives is healthy and very tasty. If prepared correctly, the product turns out much tastier than in the store.

Every year I make this gravy and it goes really well. Even children can eat it, because there is no pronounced taste of heat and spice. Only a distant piquant note is felt. In a word, the sauce is universal and neutral. Try it, you will definitely like it...


Ingredients:

  • Tomatoes – 4 kg
  • Sugar - 1 tbsp.
  • Vinegar 6% - 106 gr.
  • Salt - 35 gr.
  • Water - 1 tbsp.
  • Cloves - 3 pcs.
  • Garlic - 2-3 cloves
  • Black peppercorns - 1 tsp.
  • Hot pepper - a little

Cooking steps:

1. First of all, let's start preparing the tomatoes. Overripe tomatoes are perfect for this recipe, because the riper they are, the more richer color and a brighter taste.

Also, if you have ripe spoiled tomatoes, they can be used for this preparation. Wash the tomatoes under running water, cut off the base of the stalk and if there are spoiled places, cut them off. Cut a large fruit into 4 parts, if the tomatoes are small, cut into 2 parts.


2. Place the chopped fruits in a saucepan and add a glass of water. Cover with a lid and put on the stove to simmer for 20-25 minutes until soft.


3. As time passed, the tomatoes stewed and became soft. Now we need to beat with a blender until pureed.


4. We rub our puree through a sieve to remove any remaining peel and seeds. To ensure that the tomato juice has a uniform consistency.


5. Place pure tomato juice on the stove and bring to a boil.


6. Add 200 gr. sugar, then you need to mix well until the crystals are completely dissolved and cook for 10 minutes from the moment of boiling.


7. While the juice is boiling, prepare the spices. We roll up the gauze in several layers or take a napkin, place it on the table and pour spices and garlic, crushed with a knife, onto the cloth. We tie the fabric so that the seasonings remain in the knot.


8. After 10 minutes, add the juice and our spice bundle to the pan so that the sauce is saturated with spices. Cook for 30 minutes. If you want to get a thicker consistency of ketchup, cook for another 10 - 15 minutes.


Important! Vinegar is indicated in the recipe in grams, weighed on scales. If you have 9% vinegar, add 71 grams.


10. Pour the finished hot mass into previously prepared sterile bottles and close hermetically with sterile lids.

With 4 kg of tomatoes, we got 2.5 liters of the finished product.

Homemade ketchup for the winter without cooking and without sugar

This recipe for making sauce without cooking, of course, cannot be stored for the winter. Noya could not ignore him. This tastes divine. Honestly, when I tried it for the first time, I almost swallowed my tongue! It cooks very quickly if you dry the tomatoes in advance. It is very healthy, you can add it to all dishes with which you like to eat ordinary ketchup. We will also not add granulated sugar and salt.

2. Cut fresh tomatoes into slices and put them in a blender, add overnight dried tomatoes and dates, which will add sweetness to the sauce. Since we are not adding sugar, pour in a small amount of vinegar and beat until smooth. It's best to use apple or coconut vinegar, but regular vinegar will do.

Very tasty, try it, you won’t regret it!

Ketchup with apples and tomatoes, just like in the store

What a wonderful time - the time of preparations! Although you get tired during this period, it’s so nice to open canned food in winter and treat your family. That's why I stock up on all kinds of twists in several variations. And through experimentation, once this sauce appeared on our table, we became its devoted fans and now prepare it every year. It tastes like store bought, very tasty. It goes into use even before the cold weather sets in!


Required ingredients:

  • Tomatoes - 5 kg.
  • Apple - 4 pcs.
  • Onion - 5 pcs.
  • Sugar - 4 tbsp. lodge
  • Salt - 2 tbsp. lie
  • Red hot pepper - 1 pc.
  • Cloves - 3 pcs.
  • Peppercorns - 8-10 pcs.

Preparation:

1. To prepare this sauce, it is best to take fleshy and ripe varieties of tomatoes. We wash the tomatoes and put them through a meat grinder.


2. Choose apples that are sour and not juicy. We also wash it, divide it into pieces and grind it together with the peeled onion through a meat grinder.


3. We transfer all the ingredients that have been ground into a container in which we will cook and send it to the fire. Add salt and sugar, mix. As soon as the tomato-apple mixture boils, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally. The tomato should slightly boil (gurgle) over low heat, and not simmer.

I use salt with large crystals, special for preparations or regular, but not Extra.


4. Now we need to make a knot with seasonings as in the previous recipe. We spread a piece of gauze, fold it in half, or better yet, in three, and put peppercorns and cloves on it. Tie a knot and place it in a saucepan with boiling tomato mixture.


5. While the ketchup is boiling on the stove, we begin preparing the cans. We do not sterilize them. Therefore, they need to be thoroughly washed with detergent, pay special attention to the neck and place them upside down, no need to turn them over!!!


7. My mixture boils down to about 1 liter. Take a teaspoon of sauce and put it on a saucer, let it cool. We taste for salt and sugar and spiciness; if you think something is missing, add it.

The consistency of the finished ketchup depends on the duration of boiling. The longer you simmer, the thicker it becomes.

8. When the tomato-apple mixture has boiled down, remove the spice bundle. Next, proceed to blend the mass with a blender until it has a homogeneous consistency, without turning off the heat. You can grind it through a sieve, but in my opinion a blender is much faster.


9. Separately, I place a pan of water on the stove. When the water begins to boil well, I throw in the lids and lower the jars one by one using tongs. I hold it for about one minute. Then I take it out, immediately pour the ketchup and close the lids. I turn the seam upside down and cover it with a warm blanket.


The delicious sauce is ready!
