Do You Have a Good Recipe for Homemade Ketchup?
Good Questions

Q: Do any of you (or your reader) make homemade ketchup? With the current canning revival (and my surplus of tomatoes) I was hoping to add a great recipe to my cookbooks!

Thanks and happy canning!

I don't have the recipe in front of me, but I really like the ketchup in "Recipes from Home" by Barbara Shinn and David Page (http://www.amazon.com/Recipes-Home-David-Page/dp/1885183992 -- search inside the book to see the recipe). It has a ton of spices, which I like. The book also has recipes for different kinds of ketchup, like Apricot. Apparently, ketchup doesn't have to be tomato based.

Here's a good recipe, from Jamie Oliver: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jamie-oliver/homemade-tomato-ketchup-recipe/index.html

It's a bit British in style (less Heinz, more HP Sauce), but quite delicious, and definitely a rustic, homemade attitude.

I've no idea if it's in print, but David Rosengarten's recipe is rather tasty.

I love making the ketchup recipe in The New Laurel's Kitchen - I used to be a vegetarian (which is essentially why this book ended in my library), but I love it for the bean/legume/grain cooking information and generally just really simple, great recipes that you can build from. The split pea soup is awesome.

My friend made the tastiest ketchup wrote about it on her blog. Maybe I can con her into doing it again and bottling a little for me.

This isn't very helpful, I know, but my Indian grandmother makes the most fantastic smooth tomato chutney. It's a bit like the curry ketchup you sometimes get in Germany. God it's good.
