Many surmise that there are about the same amount of natural tomatoes in store-bought ketchup as real potatoes v potato chips... Nevertheless, the thick tomato sauce with spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves remains one of the best-selling in our country. What is there in the country - in the world. He is able to make everything as appetizing as possible: from fried meat to pasta. I don’t know about you, it’s quite difficult for me to stop using it. So while the season fresh vegetables in full swing, I propose to prepare homemade ketchup from tomatoes for the winter. Lick your fingers - it turns out so tasty. In a sealed form, the seasoning is stored for more than 1 year, but when it is open, it is advisable to eat it for no more than 2-3 weeks. Natural ingredients without synthetic additives deteriorate faster. But don't worry, a half-liter jar “disappears” in a few days.

The easiest and most delicious homemade ketchup for future use

Meat, potatoes, pizza, and even a slice of ordinary bread with this sauce are much tastier! Try it! I guarantee you will lick all your fingers and ask for more. Fresh tomatoes+ classic spices = excellent results.

Thank you very much for the recipe to mom Larisa!

Ingredients:

Exit: about 1.25 liters of ready-made sauce.

How to prepare delicious homemade tomato ketchup for the winter (lick your fingers):

To make a lot of thick sauce, use exceptionally well-ripened, fleshy, not watery tomatoes. From immature, only a large number of juice that evaporates during cooking. And there will be very little ready-made ketchup. Cut the tomatoes into small wedges. Place in a bowl (large saucepan). Peel the onion. Chop small cube... Put on tomato wedges, stir. Cover with a lid.
Put on low heat. Simmer until soft (about 15 minutes). The vegetables will immediately juice up, so they will not burn.
Use a metal sieve to smooth the tomato base. Rub soft vegetables through it. It will make a smooth, seedless and skinless puree. Wipe as thoroughly as possible - more pulp will end up in the bowl.
Transfer the vegetable mixture back to the bowl (saucepan). Do not use a lid. Bring to a boil. Cook over low heat until the ketchup is 2-2.5 times cooked.
Place ground cinnamon and pepper, as well as whole cloves and coriander seeds on cheesecloth folded several times. Tie the ends, make a pouch. Dip in boiling puree. The spices will give off their aroma, but at the same time they will be completely simple to extract from the finished product.
Add sugar, salt and vinegar. Stir. Cook for another 5-7 minutes. The sauce will become even thicker. After the indicated time, remove the spice bag.
Prepare jars (special bottles). I have a lot of 250 ml bottles of cream with lids. It is very convenient to store ketchups and other tomato sauces in them both until winter and for current use. Ordinary liter (half liter) jars are also suitable. Sterilize the jars (bottles). Boil the lids. Lay out the hot piece. Roll up. Turn over, check if the conservation is leaking. In this position, wrap the jars.
After cooling, hide in a dark pantry, a cellar for the winter. Store opened ketchup in the refrigerator. But after opening it, it is advisable to eat it within 2-3 weeks. It contains only natural preservatives and has a shorter shelf life than a store product.

Preparing aromatic tomato and apple ketchup for the winter

It is difficult to imagine a combination of apples and tomatoes raw. But in this sauce, they "get along" perfectly. Apples are responsible not only for the taste, but also for the excellent thick consistency. Try it.

Required products:

Exit: about 1.5 liters of workpiece.

The plan for the preparation of tomato and apple ketchup, preparation for future use (for the winter):

Tomatoes must be ripe, soft and tasty. It is advisable to take apples with sourness, then the seasoning will turn out to be more tasty. Peel the onion. Cut each onion into 6-8 pieces. Cut out the coarse part of tomatoes. Cut into wedges. Remove seeds and tails from apples. You do not need to remove the peel. It contains pectin, a natural thickener that will allow you to get perfect consistency for a short time.
Grind all chopped components using a blender (meat grinder). Is the mass not quite uniform? Do not worry. After boiling, small pieces of vegetables will become soft, easily squeezed through a sieve.
Transfer to a deep heat-resistant container. Place on medium heat. Reduce heat after boiling. Cook covered, stirring every 10-15 minutes, about 1 hour.
Remove the cover. Cook for another 30-45 minutes. Most of the liquid will boil away.
The most difficult stage is rubbing the boiled mass through a sieve to obtain a homogeneous consistency. But every minute of the time spent is worth it: homemade tomato and apple ketchup turns out to be very appetizing, you just lick your fingers. Having tried a spoon, I decided that it should be prepared for the winter not with cans, but with buckets. Return the grated sauce to the cooking bowl.
Add sugar, salt, vinegar, and ground pepper. It is advisable to grind the peas personally. What is sold in bags contains a lot of small rubbish, no different special aroma... Also add the spices that make a regular red tomato sauce a real ketchup. These are cloves and cinnamon. You can put the cloves whole, and remove at the end of cooking. Otherwise, the aroma will be too concentrated. Or take only 2-3 cloves and grind with pepper. Stir. Cook after boiling for another 5-7 minutes, until you achieve the desired consistency. Add other seasonings if desired - hot pepper, coriander.
Wash the jars (bottles). Sterilize or pour over boiling water several times. Place on a kitchen towel to drain the water. Fill the container. Roll up with sterile dry caps. Cool upside down under an unnecessary blanket.
After cooling, hide it for storage in the cellar, pantry, refrigerator. You open a jar of such real ketchup in winter and you enjoy the natural smell of tomatoes and spices. And the taste - you wobble - not just want to lick your fingers, but also bite off your tongue with pleasure.

Spicy thick ketchup with garlic

It is difficult to resist licking your fingers when you have a whole jar of delicious homemade sauce with a pleasant, spicy, spicy taste... Bulgarian pepper adds a special touch, garlic adds a slight pungency, and herbs of Provence add a Mediterranean flavor.

Would need:

Exit: about 1.75-2 liters.

How to cook:

Rubbing the sauce components through a sieve is not an easy and pleasant task. Especially when there are plans to prepare a large amount of conservation. Got a dedicated food processor attachment? You are very lucky. I don't have such a nozzle, so I decided to make it easier for myself and conduct an experiment. Tomato peel contains the bulk of pectin, a thickener. If you remove it, the ketchup will not thicken. But I still decided to check it and peeled off the skin. Rubbing tomato pulp is faster and easier. The sauce thickened, by the way, good. Blanch the vegetables to separate the flesh from the skin. Make a crosswise incision. Dip in boiling water. Blanch for 3-4 minutes. To reduce cooling time, transfer to ice (immerse in ice water). The skin comes off easily. Cut the tomatoes into large wedges.
I also decided to peel the bell peppers from the film. Therefore, I baked it in a heat-resistant bag. By the way, you can put in raw pods and ignore what I'll write in this paragraph. Wash the vegetable. Place it in a baking bag. Send to an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes. The same result will be obtained when cooking in microwave oven(900 W, 7-10 minutes). To prevent the bag from bursting, make cuts in several places with a knife. Cool the pods slightly. Remove ponytails, seeds. Remove the skin. Slice at random.
I used sweet salad onions. But ordinary, yellow, white will do. Peel the bulbs. Divide each into 4-8 pieces.
Grind the ingredients with a blender or meat grinder.
For cooking, use pans with a thick bottom so that the mass less burns. Send it to the stove over medium heat. When the sauce has boiled, screw the burner back on. Cook for 1.5-2 hours, until the mass is boiled down to a classic thickness.
Remove the seeds by rubbing the chopped vegetables through a metal sieve. Return the blank to the fire. A hand blender will help you achieve a perfectly smooth consistency. Additionally use it after rubbing (optional).
Add the remaining ingredients - salt, sugar, vinegar, dried and fresh spices... Chop the garlic finely with a knife (crush with a press). Stir. Cook for another 5-7 minutes after boiling.
Place in prepared containers. Since preservation is not sterilized, use sterile, dry cans, bottles, lids. Place containers of ketchup on top of the lids to check for leaks. After checking, wrap the blank with an unnecessary blanket. Put the cooled sauce in a cool dark place (refrigerator, cellar, pantry).
But you can enjoy it right away, without waiting for winter. Ketchup comes out fragrant, piquant due to the use of ripe tomato fruits, fresh garlic, provencal herbs. The shelf life of closed conservation is more than 1 year. I advise you to harvest it a lot - it disappears very quickly.

Appetizing, natural homemade preparations! Enjoyable, successful results!

Ketchup is bliss ... You can eat literally anything with it. But here's the bad luck - the more types of ketchup appear in stores, the less likely you are to buy real tomato sauce with spices and seasonings, more and more starch, and dyes, and preservatives ...

Ketchup should probably be cooked for the winter by everyone thrifty housewives... This is an excellent seasoning for all dishes: vegetable, meat. You can't make pasta and bake without ketchup delicious pizza... Even ordinary boiled or fried potatoes, seasoned with flavored ketchup, turns into a gourmet meal (especially in fasting)

This recipe was told to me by an acquaintance chef of one Italian restaurant adding that it is his “ secret recipe”. I do not know what exactly is the secret of this ketchup, and how it differs from others - I have not compared it. But once, having prepared this ketchup, I realized that I did not need other recipes.

What do you need for ketchup?

Thin-skinned, fleshy tomatoes 2 (4) kg (cut into 4 pieces)
Apples are green, sour (sort of "Semerenko" type 250 (500) g with skin, but without core. Cut into large slices)

1 tablespoon salt
150 g sugar

nutmeg on the tip of a knife
75 g vinegar and red pepper (to taste)

How to prepare ketchup?

Chopped vegetables, put in a cooking container and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Tomatoes let juice immediately, so we don't add water.

In two hours everything should be boiled and the apples should "fall apart." We cool it down.

1.More laborious: twist in a meat grinder and grind through a sieve (only dry skins should remain in the sieve).
2.Pass through the auger juicer. Moreover, we scroll the wringes twice until they give us all the pulp and become almost dry.

Pour the grated mixture into a cooking container and add spices (except vinegar and red pepper):

Cook for another 40 minutes, stirring so that the ketchup does not burn.

5 minutes before the end of cooking, add 150 g of vinegar and red pepper (in original recipe 1 tbsp. spoon, but I add 1 teaspoon so that it is not very spicy)

If you want to make a large portion at once, when adding spices, observe the proportions.

The ketchup is ready. You can eat right away. This makes approximately 1.2 liters.

Or you can pour it into small sterile jars or glass bottles from under the store ketchup, tightly close with "native" metal lids and wrap until it cools completely.

This homemade ketchup keeps well. And it is eaten perfectly.

Making ketchup at home

Making this sauce won't take you much time and effort, but you will not only save money, but also prepare what can truly be called real ketchup. For juicing, you can take any ripe tomatoes, but it is better to take more meaty varieties.

Then the juice will be much thicker, which means there will be more ketchup. Five kilograms of tomatoes will make just over four liters of juice.

We leave about one glass of juice, cook the rest. At this time, we will prepare the other ingredients. We clean the onion and chop it in a meat grinder or blender - you need to turn the onion into puree

If you want faster, you can use a regular grater. When the juice boils, add the onion puree and cook together.

Try to stir the tomato mass all the time so that it does not burn. As soon as the juice with onions is purchased, we reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour and a half - the amount should be approximately halved.

The juice will foam - we can check readiness very simply - as soon as the foam stops appearing, we can assume that the juice is ready. Do not add salt and sugar right away, otherwise the taste of homemade ketchup will be spoiled when the juice has boiled away.

Add to cold juice potato starch and ground pepper. Mix very well.

When the juice is thick, add salt and sugar, simmer for about another five minutes - do not be afraid to try. Increase or decrease the amount of salt and sugar as needed

When you get the flavor you want, add the vinegar. At the very end of cooking, carefully pour in the juice with starch, bring to a boil and turn off - do not overcook, otherwise the ketchup will remain liquid. Pour hot ketchup into jars and roll up.

For flavor and aroma, you can add a little cinnamon or cloves, you can also use dried dill or garlic
