I start with five pounds of tomatoes and after peeling them, run them through the blender. Then pass them through a wire strainer to remove the seeds, but keep the pulp. I also changed out the whole clove for 1/8 tsp of ground. That way I only have to strain out the seeds, and the rest can cook down. This summer I did 25 pounds of tomatoes, and my family and friends just love the ketchup. Thanks for everything!

A nice little surprise were the scrapings from the bottom of the cooker that weren't burned but caramelized and added a wonderful flavor boost. Like yours my slow cooker's high setting is weak so I put the lid on but left about a half inch gap. That kept my temp up and allowed the steam to escape. I was able to reach the desired consistency in only 6 hours doing it that way. I ran the ketchup through my food mill and after it cooled I didn't have to add any seasoning. It was perfect and better than store bought. I enjoy your recipes but really like the condiment and sauce ones the best. Keep 'em coming and thanks for all the hard work you do for us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355011377064111738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-44366269049744717912016-08-17T14:48:03.966-04:002016-08-17T14:48:03.966-04:00This spring I started San Marzano tomato seeds and...This spring I started San Marzano tomato seeds and now it is mid August and I am still loaded with tomatoes. I have already made canned tomato sauce, pasta sauce, tomato jam, and tomato marmalade (which is great!). I have given pounds to friends and have have some almost everyday in salads and roasted. I cannot bare to throw the tomatoes away so ketchup is my last resort, I had read your idea of using a slow cooker earlier and used the cooker for my sauces which was so much easier with no sticking or burning. So tomorrow I will make a bunch of ketchup. I use my vitamix 750 on soup setting and pour into the slow cookers. No peeling, seeding or chopping. Add the seasoning and let it cook down for several hours. Stir every couple of hours. Less work than canning whole tomatoes and you use a lot less jars using way more tomatoes.<br /><br />I love your videos!!!!Twfarmin Topshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420694769513385209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-23802288456176232232016-08-11T09:01:18.136-04:002016-08-11T09:01:18.136-04:00I love making my own condiments.

They will add natural sweetness, and flavor. Could also do the same with a stalk or two of celery, and two cloves of garlic. This may remove the need for the onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, and sugar. Just a thought, might have to try this myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02218694394346646288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-36836708876993527712015-09-29T17:16:43.035-04:002015-09-29T17:16:43.035-04:00Barbara I see your comment is March 9 so you are n...Barbara I see your comment is March 9 so you are not likely even checking for a response anymore but absolutely you are able to safely can it. It would be just like canning tomato sauce. Tomatoes are an easy water bath method being high in acid. And ketchup is also high in sugar and vinegar so practically foolproof.<br /><br />I just made this recipe again since it really is the closest to that childhood comfort taste. Love other ketchup flavors but dang. It is true. We do as Americans want that specific flavor profile.

I am also a cook at heart; without my kitchen I wouldn't know where to go on my free time. I made this recipe for ketchup with balsamic vinegar and brown sugar and some oregano with the dried tarragon. It was wonderful, and I used the last of the tomatoes from my garden. The result is absolutely wonderful! I don't use ketchup all that much, but I will definitely be using it now. It just tastes so good ... I am a tomato lover so this just hits the spot! Thank you so much for being crazy enough to do the video. I'm crazy about tomatoes so you can be forgiven :)Art Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16400748787022200251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-23805019635127997132014-11-20T13:59:05.133-05:002014-11-20T13:59:05.133-05:00I was digging around your sauce feed looking for a...I was digging around your sauce feed looking for a specific gravy recipe I can't seem to find in the search and found this recipe again. I had to watch again to see what you did because I just made a batch of ketchup from the very last of the season gleaning from my garden. I was headed down to San Fran for a vacation and a big pile of mostly cherry tomatoes on the counter and plenty already put up for the year. Yep, I made ketchup from fresh tomatoes. Fabulous though I will say if you grow heirlooms like I do the color and flavor is definitely an adventure. Neon orange and more 'tomatoey' than usual. Still crazy, actually getting crazier.philogaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570156509307983353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-6364245731338862052014-03-30T09:15:25.162-04:002014-03-30T09:15:25.162-04:00It sounds to me that I'm crazy for wanting to ...It sounds to me that I'm crazy for wanting to make homemade ketchup. There are sounds reasons for doing it yourself, no BPA from plastic bottles or the inside of the cans, (check labels of cans to be sure), using canning jars, being able to choose the ingredients,(like anything made from scratch). And then, the crazy side of it, to say you did it.
