Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 A small can of tomato paste seasoned the way you like it would make a great ketchup. That way you would have the right consistancy without doing anything other than stirring it. It would make a small amount so no worry about it getting too old. I like mine sweet but one could add any kind of seasoning they like. Even make it spicy and hot. I sure won't buy bottled ketchup again..One reason is the plastic bottles. If I can't buy it in a glass bottle I don't buy it. I pray that they never put Veganaise in a plastic bottle. LOL Deanna in Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 A co-worker told me that her husband won't eat ketchup because of the things he saw when his class (when he was in grade school) did a tour of a ketchup factory. She won't eat it either after hearing the story. But she refused to tell me what he saw.

LOL Deanna in Colorado As I read the posts in this thread, re: Ketchup/Catsup, I can hear in my mind's ear the silly ditty this guy croons on Garrison Keillor's " A Prairie Home Companion " (NPR) radio program: " KETCH-UP!...ketch-up!...Ketch-UUUUP! " (LOL!) Seriously, I have made my own mayonnaise many times and have balked a few times at the price of organic (sans corn syrup) ketchup/catsup. For some reason it had never occurred to me to try and MAKE a bit of ketchup--mainly because only recipes I had ever seen were in something like the " Ball Canning and Freezing Blue Book " --and yielded a HUGE batch of stuff per recipe. I don't want a pantry shelf full of bottles (or canning jars) of ketchup--just a little of the stuff to use now and then! Thank you for the suggestion of using the SMALL can(s) of tomato paste! Doing that, I could make a batch...and not waste a ton of supplies if it wasn't suitable. A SMALL amount would likely be used up quickly, not get moldy...and, I THINK I even have the " perfect " size of empty glass jar to put it in! COOOOL! Thanks a TON for the suggestion! It is do-able! --Laura B., in Illinois Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 with the apple juice recipe, what spices would you add? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Mike, My favorite catsup is 'sweet and sour' so to create that flavor just add a bit of vinegar or lemon juice. My stand-by seasonings are garlic and onion powder. Most Catsup has a 'bite' which is a dash of chili powder/pepper. Tomato sauce will be milder than tomato paste. The apple juice will cut the acidic(sometimes bitter) taste of the tomatoes. Let us know how long it takes for the tomato sauce and apple juice to cook down to the consistancy of ketchup.
