Ketchup



I use the Heinz Light Harvest Ketchup. It has 2g sugar per tablespoon as opposed to 4 in the regular. I tried making it once and while the result was better than Westbrae I found that the recipe made so much that I couldn't use it all in a reasonable length of time and making a smaller amount isn't time effective. The Heinz is also low sodium and I have to have that for my husband anyway. I rationalize using it myself since I only use a little and I always use it on protein and/or fatty foods ;^)......Gail


This is a recipe for ketchup from the book, "Busting Sugar". I have arecipe for barbecue sauce for ribs that uses Ketchup and I substituted this and it was good. KETCHUP 1 - 15 oz. Tomato sauce (no sugar kind) 4 pkgs. equal 1 TBLS vinegar 1 lg toe roasted garlic (optional) Bring to a slow boil, stirring, stirring, stirring. Cook until it is reduced by 1/2 to 1/4 or until desired consistency. Dick


Catsup, ketchup, which is SB legal and has no artificial ingredients: You need cheesecloth, twine you'd be willing to put in food, scissors, a tall can of cheap tomato juice, a stock pot, or other deep heavy pot. * pour the tomato juice into the pot and keep the flame very low *Add the following: 1 teaspoon of celery seed 1 teaspoon of onion powder 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, brown 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, white OR, a whole cup of brown balsamic and no white, your choice *Make a spice bag of a double layer of the cheesecloth. In it put: 1 stick of whole cinnamon, 2 inches long 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns 1 teaspoon whole allspice berries 1 teaspoon whole cloves *Tie the spice bag up and throw it in the pot. *Simmer this until liquid is reduced by half. * Stir every time you happen to think of it. Find other things to do, because this takes about a half hour to 45 minutes. It makes the house smell nice, though. *Taste. At this point, add salt to taste. I don't use any, because tomato juice is quite salty to my palate. *Keep simmering until it is the consistency of catsup. This amount takes me about another 30 to 45 minutes, about an hour and a half total cooking time. *Fish out the spice bag and throw it way. *Put catsup in covered jar or bottle. It makes about a1/2 cup to 1 cup of catsup, which is quite a few 1 Tablespoon servings. It has no sugar or artificial sweetener, but it does have natural sugar. The recipe can be doubled, but do not double the spices, just the tomato juice and the vinegar. It will cook in about 2 and a half hours if doubled. Try adding half again as much spice, then taste halfway through. It keeps in the refrigerator roughly forever, just like commercial catsup The color of balsamic vinegar, brown, makes this a dark catsup. Even lightening it with the white balsamic does not make it look like Heinz.Kids may reject it, but tell them it's the color of A-1 sauce. However, if you put in a whole cup of the brown balsamic and no white, it tastes just like Heinz. Bon appetit, Monica

Spaghetti Sauce

Rick's recipe sounds good! Here's mine: Boil 1 lb. pasta and, meanwhile, saute 3/4 c. diced leaks, 4 cloves crushed garlic and 1 t. crushed red pepper flakes in 2 T. olive oil until translucent. Add 1/2 c. dry white wine and cook 1 minute. Add 1 1/2 c. chopped fresh tomatoes (or use a can of whole tomatoes, seeded, diced and drained) and 2 bay leaves and cook 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves and add 8 fresh basil leaves, minced, and the drained cooked pasta. Toss. Cook 2 minutes. Serve hot but do_not_add cheese. Gail
