Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 cups white vinegar
- 0.33 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.125 teaspoons ground allspice
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Wash 2 pounds of ripe tomatoes thoroughly, remove the cores, and roughly chop them into chunks.
Place the chopped tomatoes in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 0.25 cups of water to the pan to prevent sticking.
Bring the tomatoes to a simmer and cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and have released their juices.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Let the tomatoes cool slightly, then use a blender or food processor to puree the mixture until smooth.
Pass the pureed tomatoes through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove skins and seeds, leaving behind a smooth tomato base.
Return the strained tomato mixture to the saucepan and place it over low heat. Stir in 0.5 cups of white vinegar, 0.33 cups of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Add 0.5 teaspoons of onion powder, 0.5 teaspoons of garlic powder, 0.25 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 0.125 teaspoons of ground cloves, and 0.125 teaspoons of ground allspice. Stir well to combine.
Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or sugar if needed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the tomato catsup cool to room temperature.
Transfer the catsup to sterilized jars or bottles, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Enjoy your homemade tomato catsup with your favorite meals!
