You Will Need (10 things)

  • 5 lbs Tomatoes ripe
  • 3 Peeled and cored Apples tart variety such as Granny Smith
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 ¾ cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • 6 whole Cloves
  • 8 whole Allspice
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 2 cup White Vinegar

Steps (5 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Roughly chop the tomatoes, apples and garlic. Place them in a large saucepan along with the sugar, salt, pepper, cloves, allspice, ground ginger and vinegar.

  2. 2

    Bring the ingredients to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until tomatoes and apples are very tender.

  3. 3

    Puree the ingredients with a food processor or immersion blender. If none of these are available, you can also push the ingredients through a sieve twice.

  4. 4

    Return the pureed ketchup to the saucepan and bring it to a boil. Boil, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until the mixture is thick. Stir occasionally. The longer you boil the ketchup, the thicker it will be.

  5. 5

    Remove from the heat and pour the hot ketchup into glass mason jars. Store the ketchup in the refrigerator.
