I made this yesterday as a surprise for my fiance, and he loved it! He loves ketchup, alot, so I thought this would be a neat think to cook up. I second the splatter screen, my kitchen looked like the set of a horror movie before I put that thing on! Thanks for the recipe!! ^_^

What a great thing to make for a ketchup lover!

Did you get to make a fun label too? I admit I still haven’t gotten to that part.

I love this line, as I’m pretty sure I’ve used it before as it’s particularily apt to vegetarian cooking:
“These scorched bits, in moderation, will make your ketchup taste even better, so don’t worry.”
so true!

I love the Jackson Pollock comparison!

I bet the fire-roasted tomatoes help make this ketchup too – I just love the unique taste of them. Admittedly they are a a sort of novelty item in my kitchen these days.

That sounds like my BBQ sauce recipe, albeit somewhat sweeter and I add mace to mine.

The similarity to bbq may explain why I like it so much. Also explains how I can taste it through my current cold of dead taste buds

“Perverse ingredient control; you can make it so spicy it will make little kids around you cry….”

LOVE IT.

How nice to include berbere in your ketchup recipe. I will definitely have to try this; I have no willpower when it comes to spicy condiments!

I’ve made ketchup a few times in the past couple years but always from the tomatoes I grow in my garden. I’ll have to give this one a try now and see if I can adapt it when the summer garden produces…
