Holiday Ketchup

Yes, its quite possible to make your own Ketchup, pretty easy too. This one has a hint of the Holidays  from the use of spices like cloves and allspice.

Ingredients;

1 bottle of tomato passata ( 2 cups)
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of white wine vinegar
4 whole cloves and 4 whole allspices freshly grind in a mortar
1 tsp salt

Bring all ingredients to a boil in a small pot and continue to boil on medium to low heat for 10 minutes.

 Use a hand blender if needed to make the ketchup smooth.  Add to clean bottles or jars. Keep refrigerated. Use the way you would have used regular ketchup.

Perfect as a hostess gift during the holiday season!

Happy Holidays!!
