Take 2! I made ketchup a while ago, and it was just awful. It tasted like it would go better on a cake than a french fry. I didn't feel inclined to try again until I saw this Whiskey BBQ Ketchup on the Minimalist Baker while I was looking for a baked french fries recipe (the fry recipe is killer too). It didn't have cinnamon or what I associate as bakery spices, and the idea of a smoky whiskey ketchup was super intriguing. Oh man this stuff is good! Yay! I'm forever indebted to them for posting this recipe.
I used six ounces of tomato paste since the can was six ounces, and white vinegar instead of apple cider but otherwise followed the recipe!
Paste & sauce.
All spices, sugar and liquids added. I used white vinegar because I'm out of apple cider. I thought about sherry vinegar, but I like the simplicity of white vinegar. Though it seems more popular for cleaning than for eating these days...
Done! It made about 24 ounces for me. I filled this 16 ounce jar and would have filled an 8 ounce jar, but I ate about 1 tablespoons right away. Hot ketchup isn't that bad haha.
This is a lot of ketchup and I think if I were making this for just Nate and I, I would halve the recipe so we could get to it while it's still fresh. However I gave the smaller 8 ounce jar as a gift to my Dad!
I learned a valuable french fry lesson too after making oven fries with limited success many, many times. I'll be following up with a post on what I've learned about oven fries.
