Step-by-step
- Add tomatoes, cayenne & stevia to a small saucepan and bring to boil, reduce heat to a simmer until it reduces by half - about half an hour--stir occasionally.
- In another small saucepan, combine onion, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves and celery salt. Bring to boil, remove from heat, and strain out solids.
- Add strained vinegar and salt to tomato mixture. Simmer for 20 - 30 minutes or until ketchup is desired consistency. I ran mine through a magic bullet to get it nice and smooth after it cooled which you can do if you like a really smooth ketchup.
- Store in a clean glass jar for up to a month in the fridge.
- Add horseradish for cocktail sauce or chopped pickles and mayo for thousand island dressing. So good you'll be tempted to eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon! The perfect topping for this burger!
Why is this mixture separating into a watery sludge halfway through the simmer? Commercial tomato purée contains varying water content, which dictates whether your reduction hits the target consistency in twenty minutes or requires a full forty. Whole spices must be strained properly, and the tomato base needs precise heat control to avoid scorching the natural sugars.
- Simmer the initial tomato purée, cayenne, and stevia blend until volume decreases by exactly fifty percent.
- Boil the vinegar, dehydrated onions, cinnamon stick, cloves, and celery salt separately before straining out the solids.
- Process the cooled mixture in a high-speed blade appliance for thirty seconds if a ultra-smooth texture is required.
- Store the finished condiment in a sanitized glass jar at refrigeration temperatures for up to thirty days.
- Utilize powdered stevia extracts with caution, as conversion ratios vary compared to liquid drops.
