We don't have any ketchup in the house since no one seems to want to spend the $3. I don't, and what do I do when I want something I refuse to buy and/or don't have? I make it myself. I looked up a few ketchup recipes online and put this together:
- 1 can crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp cinamon
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- a bunch of fresh-ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp tumeric
- 2 tbsp cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp chili
I heated these ingredients in a medium-sized heavy pot, stirring often. If you attempt this, watch out: the ketchup jumps. As for texture and flavour, it's kind of tomato saucy, but still works as a ketchup. It went really well with the seasoned baked potato pieces I made. See below.
Seasoned Baked Potato Pieces:
Wash some potatoes and cut into small bits with skins on. Place in single layer of deep baking pan. Sprinkle with chopped garlic, red onion, chili flakes, oregano, basil and rosemary. Lightly drizzle with olive oil, toss potatoes around, and bake at 425 for 15-25 minutes. Stir and flip 2 times while cooking.
