2 lb Ripe (about 5 or 6 medium) -tomatos, rinsed and diced 2 lg Garlic cloves, smashed 1/2 sm Onion, diced 1/4 lg (1-ounce) red bell pepper, -diced 1/2 c Plus 2 Tablespoons light -corn syrup 1/2 c Plus 2 Tablespoons cider -vinegar 1 tb Salt 2 ts Pickling spices 1/4 c Tomato paste Info: from "Eat More, Weigh Less", by Dean Ornish M.D., 1993 Harper Collins recipe by Wolfgang Puck typed for you by Perry Lowell, GOURMET, July `93 The length of time it takes for the ketchup to thicken depends on the water content of the tomatos, so be patient. Make only with vine-ripened tomatos. Makes 2 cups. In a medium stainless-steep or enamel saucepan, over a low flame, cook the tomatos and garlic until the sauce begins to bubble. Add the onion and red pepper and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the corn syrup, vinegar, salt, and pickling spices and continue to simmer over the low flame until the sauce reduces and thickens, about 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. (The sauce will reduce by about one-half.) Do not rush. Cook over a low flame to prevent scorching. Strain through a food mill and stir in the tomato paste. Correct seasoning to taste, cool, and refrigerate in a covered container until needed. The ketchup will thicken slightly as it cools, but it is not the consistency of store-bought ketchup. The ketchup will keep up to three weeks. Serving Size: 2 Tablespoons Calories: 52 Fat: .3 grams Cholesterol: 0 Sodium: 448.4 milligrams |
