Golden Thyme Homestead
You’ll need a lot of tomatoes for this! It’s ideal to make this recipe in late summer when the tomatoes are plentiful and cheaper or your garden is producing.
Let’s get started!
01 Water bath canner & tools
02 1/2 pint jars w/ lids & bands
03 Fine mesh strainer or food mill
04 Small metal saucepan
05 Large stainless steel pot
07 Immersion blender
06 Tomato corer (optional)
08 Cheesecloth
01
Core and quarter your tomatoes. Add them to a pot with the spices, and bring everything to a boil.
02
Add infused vinegar and continue to gently boil. It will take about 50 minutes for the mixture to begin to thicken.
03
You'll work on the consistency by blending it, pushing the mixture through a sieve, and returning it to a gentle boil for about 2 hours.
04
Ladle hot ketchup into hot, sterilized jars. Leave 1/2 inch of headspace and process for 15 minutes (adjusting for altitude).
