I-Can’t-Believe-This-Is-Ketchup Recipe
So… one of my favorite guilty pleasures is French Dressing (something I assume the French would find a less-than-favorable appellation). Any recipe I could find for “French” dressing had, to my dismay, ketchup! So, because ketchup doesn’t often make its way into my kitchen, and because it wouldn’t be very “from-scratch” of me to throw ketchup into a recipe, I dediced to come up with a ketchup recipe.
After researching the many ketchup recipes out there, I finally came up with this little ditty (which is just so much more delicious than store-bought ketchup):
Ingredients:
- 1 28 oz can stewed tomatoes
- 1 chopped medium sized onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup sugar (brown if you have it, but white will do)
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp salt
What you do:
Sautee onions in olive oil until translucent. Simultaneously, drain and puree the stewed tomatoes. Once the onions are ready, add tomato puree, sugar, vinegar, and salt in cooked onions and satuee until thick (about 1 hour).
Finally, pour ketchup into blender and puree until smooth. Use to garnish your favorite veggie burger, or save for the upcoming French dressing recipe!
This’ll keep for about three weeks in your fridge. :D
