Ingredients:

2/3 loving cup water

1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon dry reason roasted ginger
1/4 teaspoon dry reason cardamom
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon Vietnamese cinnamon

Directions:
Prep your jars/lids. Place all ingredients inward a heavy-bottomed nonreactive pot (I used my enameled form Fe Dutch oven). Bring to a rolling boil too develop until the plums are soft, close twenty minutes. Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender or ladle inward a regular blender to pulse until smooth. Return to a rolling boil too develop until thickened to ketchup consistency*, close twenty minutes. Ladle into pint jars leaving 1/4 inch headroom.

Note: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 dandy root for canning data is the Blue Book direct to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here are some of my other favorite canning books too supplies.


*The sauce does thicken upwards a fleck upon cooling. You tin house a pocket-sized amount on a dish too chill it inward the fridge (while you're cooking the ketchup) to banking concern represent the cooled consistency if you'd like.

My thoughts:
That big box of fruit from the form folks at those apriums featured early on this week. Still, a lot of season from a tiny plum!

I was tempted to brand jam but therefore I idea amend of it too idea I'd displace some other beet ketchup I made before inward the summertime too idea it would hold upwards lovely to convey a summery version to convey on manus during the chilly months. As it turns out, the plums were good suited to ketchup. They were pretty meaty for pocket-sized fruit too thickened upwards non alone good but rapidly. The terminate production was tangy, zesty too tart-fruity; the perfect replacement for my too-sweet sworn enemy, tomato plant ketchup.


Note: I'd never made anything amongst Italian prune plums before but don't permit their prune-y get upwards throw y'all off. They are but plums too piece they tin hold upwards made into prunes, they are dandy to develop with. The pare is sparse therefore at that topographic point is no postulate to peel them too they are freestone therefore in 1 trial y'all halve them along the crease, the pit pops correct out. And when they cook, they plow a sort of fuchsia. What's non to love?
