      Ketchup recipe? hmm, hang on, i adapted these ones a bit.....

      http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...mag_21702.html

      Roasted a load of toms in hot oven for 30 mins (brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper)

      Let em cool, meanwhile lightly fry 2 large onions and a whole bulb of garlic in a large pan (until translucent)

      Remove the toms from the juice and add whole to onion pan. Heat to boiling.

      Add 200ml vinegar, 450grams sugar, allspice (teaspoon), coriander (1/2 tsp), basil (1/4 teaspoon), cayenne pepper (teaspoon), a dash of worcestershire sauce, a dash of balsamic vinegar, more black pepper and salt to tast and boil for 30 mins.

      Once cooked to a consistency you like, put into a food blender and blitz it all todether!

      Prep your jars, put ketchup into jars and place in water bath to sterilize for 20 mins before sealing!

        I also made 2 1/2 litres of ketchup and a gallon and a half of pasta sauce!

        And for an encore Im making a gallon of the roast tomato soup now!

        Feeling like a domestic goddess atm! Lol!

        Being a modern man, I have a turn at cooking once a week.
        So tonight for starters, we had Mrs TK's (aka GG) Sweet Chilli Sauce with battered prawns.
        I have to say that it was even better than a well known brand that we usually use. It was wonderful!
        Sometimes I complain a little about the constant smell of some sauce or preserves being cooked, but Mrs TK certainly has got this one right, so from the horse's mouth as it were, try it. I can thoroughly recommend it!

              I made the HFW ketchup, used 4 kilos of toms and got two and a half jam jars of ketchup after four hours cooking. Tastes gorgeous, but it sure isn't economical

                I will also give a big up to the HFW tommy k recipe. Probably not economical but a thousand times better than even Heinz which I loved beforehand.

                  No kidding!! I made with two thirds the amount of chilli and it is like rocket fuel
