1/4 teaspoon floor cardamom
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly floor black pepper
Instructions:
Prep your jars/lids. Place all components in a heavy-bottomed nonreactive pot (I used my enameled forged iron Dutch oven). Deliver to a rolling boil. Take away from warmth. Use an immersion blender or ladle in a daily blender to pulse till clean. Return to a rolling boil and cook dinner till thickened to ketchup consistency*, about 20 minutes. Ladle into pint jars leaving 1/4 inch headroom. Course of in a sizzling water tub for 10 minutes.

Word: An important supply for canning info is the Blue E book information to preserving. I extremely advocate it for studying the best way to can. Listed here are a few of my different favourite canning books and provides.
*The sauce does thicken up a bit upon cooling. You may place a small quantity on a dish and chill it within the fridge (when you’re cooking the ketchup) to examine the cooled consistency for those who’d like.
My ideas:
The cherry recipes proceed! As longtime readers know, one of many few meals I really despise is ketchup. Candy, syrupy, bland tomato ketchup holds no enchantment. I do prefer to dip issues so I’m at all times a bit unhappy when I’ve say, a tot and nothing to dip him in. Enter the do-it-yourself fruit (and vegetable!) ketchup. Spicier and extra flavorful than its store-bought crimson cousin, it’s welcome on burgers, fries and anyplace you want some zip.
For this one, I paired the candy cherries with chipotle to offer it some warmth and used what I consider as “heat” spices to flesh out the flavour. I really like the end result! A ketchup for adults and complicated youngsters in every single place.
Word: Since this makes a small batch, I made it concurrently the cherry-raspberry jam so I may fill one entire canning pot.
