Directions:
Prep your jars/lids. Place all ingredients inwards a heavy-bottomed nonreactive pot (I used my enameled variety atomic lay out 26 Dutch oven). Bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender or ladle inwards a regular blender to pulse until smooth. Return to a rolling boil together with develop until thickened to ketchup consistency*, almost twenty minutes.

Note: H5N1 keen rootage for canning data is the Blue Book withdraw to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here are unopen to of my other favorite canning books together with supplies.


*The sauce does thicken upward a flake upon cooling. You tin strength out identify a pocket-sized sum on a dish together with chill it inwards the fridge (while you're cooking the ketchup) to banking firm fit the cooled consistency if you'd like.

My thoughts:

The cherry recipes continue! As longtime readers know, ane of the few foods I genuinely despise is ketchup. Sweet, syrupy, bland love apple tree ketchup holds no appeal. I exercise similar to dip things together with then I'm ever a niggling poor when I accept say, a tot together with zip to dip him in. Enter the homemade fruit (and vegetable!) ketchup. Spicier together with to a greater extent than flavorful than its store-bought blood-red cousin, it is welcome on burgers, fries together with whatever identify yous involve unopen to zip.

For this one, I paired the sugariness cherries alongside chipotle to plough over it unopen to oestrus together with used what I intend of equally "warm" spices to flesh out the flavor. I dear the result! H5N1 ketchup for adults together with sophisticated children everywhere.


Note: Since this makes a pocket-sized batch, I made it at the same fourth dimension equally the cherry-raspberry jam together with then I could fill upward ane whole canning pot.
