This was taken in part from a recipe on Diane Sanfilippo's website, and modified a bit in both ingredients and the process. It's still a bit of an in-the-works project, as it is a bit thicker than I like my ketchup -- but the flavor is to die for!
1 small onion, diced
2 green/granny smith apples, peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 pinches of cloves
1/4 teaspoon ginger
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (next time: 2.5 Tbsp, see note below)
1/4 cup water (next time: 2/3 cup, see note below)
6 oz tomato paste
Place all ingredients into a slow cooker and stir to combine. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 4 hours. I have a small crockpot (2 quart) that I use for making my own individual portions of food items, so I used my small crockpot.
After 4 hours, remove the crockpot from the heating element and let it cool just a bit and then put in your food processor or blender. Be sure not to fill your blender too full, as warm items tend to expand. Blend until smooth.
Since this is fairly chunky to begin with, what I did was I put it in my larger Ninja and blended the heck out of it, then transferred to my smaller one and blended until I thought it was ready, and then kept blending.
Once blended, place the ketchup into glass containers and allow it to come to room temperature before refrigerating.
NOTE:
- This was still fairly thick, and I'm thinking that it was because my small crockpot runs a bit on the warm side, so next time I will increase the water from the original 1/4 cup the recipe calls for, to 2/3 cup, and also add 1/2 Tbsp extra apple cider vinegar, possibly at the very end of the cooking process for the extra being added. Another option is to cook less time, thereby keeping more of the water in the crockpot and not evaporating as much.
- If you are making this in C3, you can also add 1 Medjool Date (that's what I did), but it really is not necessary, as I think it's sweet enough as it is.
I have being on blog Sites for a while now and today I felt like I should share my story because I was a victim too. I had HIV for 6 years and i never thought I would ever get a cure I had and this made it impossible for me to get married to the man I was supposed to get married to even after 2 years of relationship he broke up with me when he finds out I was HIV positive. So I got to know about Dr. Itua on Blog Site who treated someone and the person shared a story of how she got a cured and let her contact details, I contacted Dr. Itua and he actually confirmed it and I decided to give a try too and use his herbal medicine that was how my burden ended completely. My son will be 2 soon and I am grateful to God and thankful to his medicine too.Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Disease…Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease
