Tomato Ketchup
- 2 pounds tomatoes chopped
- 2 large garlic cloves smashed
- 1/2 small onions diced
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pickling spices
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- In a medium stainless-steep or enamel saucepan, over a low flame, cook the tomatos and garlic until the sauce begins to bubble.
- Add the onion and red pepper and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the corn syrup, vinegar, salt, and pickling spices and continue to simmer over the low flame until the sauce reduces and thickens, about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Do not rush.
- Cook over a low flame to prevent scorching.
- Strain through a food mill and stir in the tomato paste.
- Correct seasoning to taste, cool, and refrigerate in a covered container until needed.
- The ketchup will thicken slightly as it cools, but it is not the consistency of store-bought ketchup.
- The ketchup will keep up to three weeks.
