That BBQ sauce got me thinking about making ketchup.

A little back ground. I planted a ton of tomatoes. I mean 3 times the amount I normally plant. I'm going to have them coming out of my ears this summer. I plan on canning and freezing as many as possible, but thought it would be cool to make ketchup with the kids.

So, does anyone make there own? If so, do any of yall have good recipes? Also, how long will it last in the pantry?

Thanks fellas.

I love the one my grandmother used to make. My Mom made it once. It's labor intensive and we don't have exact measurements for everything because she wrote it out in hand. I think it's in the recipe book.

Couldn't find it. Here it is. It's as written by her, though.

Tomato Catsup

To 1 bucket of tomatoes (my bucket holds 8 quarts)
5 large onions
4 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons of salt
1 even teaspoon of mustard (my note-assume this is dry mustard)
1 " " cayenne pepper
1 " " black pepper
1 " " mace
1 " " allspice
1 " " cinnamon
1 " " cloves
1 tumbler of sugar (I use a glass)
1 quart of vinegar

Slice (peeled) tomatoes (I do not peel them). I put onion, slat, sugar, vinegar, and garlic all in at once and let simmer for several hours. ( I mince the onion and garlic fine.) (Do not heap black pepper spoon if it is fresh and strong.)

When tomatoes etc... have cooked a long time slowly, I run this through a sieve. I place jice in a crock; after it has cooled, I put in the refrigerator and then finish making it the next day. (Too much work for one day.)

Several days after I take out juice and make a bag and sew the spices and pepper, etc... in this bag. Then place bag in juice and let simmer until it has cooked to the right consistency.

Use only 1 quart of red vinegar. I find 1 1/2 quarts is too much.

Planned to do it last summer. Too much work, and I bailed.
