Friday 30 August - Tomato Ketchup

A bit of a tomato glut, and this year I'm trying not to waste anything, so thought I'd have a go at Ketchup - using the vinegar bottles kindly supplied by The Bytham Kitchen for storage.

I based this on a Jamie Oliver recipe, with a few tweaks.

Firstly onions, garlic, ginger, basil, fennel, celery seed, cloves and cardamoms were sweated in a pan.

Then in went the tomatoes and some water and it all bubbled until reduced by half.

 

Then the mixture was blended and seived.

 

Finally, sugar and vinegar were added, and it was all reduced again, before being poured into sterilized bottles
