Homemade Tomato Ketchup
Description
The ketchup begins by cooking chopped tomatoes with red wine vinegar and sugar to build a tangy sweetness. Minced garlic and ginger add depth and aromatics while ground coriander, cinnamon, allspice, smoked paprika, and a pinch of ground cloves create a complex spice profile. After simmering, the mixture is pureed and strained to remove seeds, yielding a smooth texture.
Continuing to simmer the strained sauce thickens it to the desired consistency without added thickeners. This ketchup can accompany fries, burgers, or sandwiches and offers a homemade alternative to store-bought varieties with control over the ingredients and spices.
Variations can include adding red pepper flakes or chipotle for heat or experimenting with different spices such as onion powder, cumin, or curry powder to alter the flavor profile. Care should be taken when blending hot liquids to avoid splatters.
