Bottling the ketchup sure looks great. You are a bless couple. America needs far more good people like the two of you. Happy homesteading, God bless America.
My husband is a die-hard Heinz ketchup lover. I'm going to try this recipe to see if I can change his mind. Once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Penny Canfield Do some research heinze is loaded with toxic chemicals like mercury high fructose corn syrup and they only use 2% tomatoes.Homemade is way healthier.Thanks
Oh, I know! I'm the health guru in our house, but unfortunately, my husband isn't one and he just goes by taste. I'm hoping this recipe will change his mind. Take care!!
It's like you read my mind!! I actually told my husband yesterday "I think I may try making ketchup this year. No idea how but I think I might look for some videos on it." Wake up... here it is. Awesome video y'all!!!
Hope'sHomestead Thanks so much hope you get to give it a try it terned out so good for us.The only tricky part was getting it to the right thickness without it scorching.thanks girl
Denise Canterberry you are correct. The only thing I skim is quince jelly, because you need that to look clear. I wouldn’t eat this sauce if you paid me! In Aust we have sweet sauce.....equal proportions, tomato, sugar, onions, vinegar, Granny Smith apple plus salt and spices, eg 6 cloves per pound tomatoes. He’s making and eating spaghetti sauce!
@@juneshannon8074 why not say what you really mean? "Wouldn't eat it if you paid me" ??? Why'd you have to go there? For that matter, Why'd you even watch the video to begin with? You're obviously better than the rest of us. But to be honest, apple's in ketchup sounds disgusting. Sounds like you really don't like tomatoes at all. Such a nasty comment. Smh.
You guys are great. I love the southern accents and calmness in your voices. I am dying to live this life! Learning how to can food is a wonderful feeling. I have only done pinto beans and carrots so far but with all of the help from these videos, I am destined for some home-canned greatness!
I watched your video because I'm about to can my grandma's ketchup recipe from when I was a kid and I wanted a refresher. I love how you said not to expect this to taste like commercial ketchup. You're so right! Homemade has a much more open fresh flavor than the salty vinegar taste of store-bought tomato ketchup. I'm excited to get back to work in my kitchen and recreate this savory memory.
I’m so going to do this I hate the crap we buy in the store thank u thank u for this my grand ma is passed on so I have no one to teach me these thing so thank u for this God bless
Thank you for all you do, I have been weighting for this. My wife and I like ketchup, but I get tired of going to the store and buying it. Know I can make it, and don't have to go to the store that much. GOD bless ya'll, and hope ya'll have a great day. Thank you again.
When you cook something down to get rid of the water and other things, it is called reduce. When you cook fats to get the liquid fat out, it is called render. I have a habit of mixing things up at times too.
People take for granted how long things really take to make. I spent 50% of my adolescent life on my grandmothers farm so some of these processes I have grown up with..It is very comforting to me to see them carried on.
I'll never forget the first time I went to school, at lunch everyone was putting this red stuff on everything. I asked some one what it was and they said it was ketchup. I had never had store bought ketchup before. My Mom always made our ketchup.
Danny,I place my lids the same way! Also I have picked up new crock pots T auctions for $2.00. I use them for projects such as this and certain ones designated for soap making. Thank you for sharing this recipe. MY God continue to bless you. Happy Anniversary!
looks really good for a ALL NATURAL KETCHUP!!! I know it sure will taste so much better than the store bought brands thx for sharing XOXO Happy Homesteading
My wife made ketchup a couple years ago and surpassed anything from a store. The next batch she did was even better. Compared to homemade ketchup the storr bought doesnt seem to have any real flavor. Great video. Thanks for the new recipe to try.
I was surprised at the fact that you were NOT using canning jars. I thought that was a must. Could you talk a little more about that? Loved the video. Gonna try that next year.
Hi, I don't normally comment on your videos but love most of them. I am glad to see you use old commercial jars to store food. They are perfectly safe for most foods. I have been canning high acid foods in them for years with no problems also year after year I jar my Olives in them .. One thing to note it's not the jars but the lids that need to be in perfect condition.
OK, now I really want someone to invent taste-a-vision, Danny. You looked like you were enjoying that so much. Neat frugal tip about using the coconut oil jars for water bath canning, too.
If you live in Mississippi I'm amazed you even have tomatoes this year with all the rain we've had. Here on the coast we had 23 inches in the month of June, and here at the end of July it isn't any drier. Everything we planted was ruined
It’s very interesting to see how we all make our own family recipes to personal taste! Ours is much thicker, reduced by half- with much more onion and garlic. Thanks for sharing, I think I’d prefer yours for basting a meatloaf ect.
Ok. That didn't look as difficult as I thought it would be. I'm putting this on my list of things to try. Thanks Danny & Wanda! -All the best. ~ Theresa
Thanks for video. Great idea for the winter time when my bees are clustering and have time to do this along with my jam making. Thanks again. I really like yalls videos.
I'm going to try this when tomatoes are going strong. I tried a ketchup recipe 2 yrs ago & didn't care for it. I do tomato sauces by putting whole clean tomatoes in roaster oven (like for turkey). I usually remove core. I'll leave on all night. In morning, I'll run thru food processor & food mill. So much easier for me than skinning & boiling down more. Then I switch to stock pot like you did to add ingredients & cook down. Roaster leaves a fair amount of liquid. I've added in or excluded & canned like a weak juice. It works fine for recipes that call for tomato juice in casseroles.
I am following you on making ketchup for the first time . I only got 4 pints but I don’t care . I tasted it while it cooked and to me it was delicious. Waiting for water bath to start boiling and then 15 process . Thank you so much for all your info😀❤️
Yes indeed , plus a bit more Vinegar too ... Now you're talking ...One thing I've learned to really like in my ketchup , here lately HEINZ has come out with a SPICEY KETCHUP , NOT TOO SPICEY , JUST TANGY , & I JUST LOVE IT , WHOO HOOOO......... 🍅🍅🍅🍅🌶🌶🌶🌶
I'm getting about 200 to 300 tomatoes a day I'm running out of space plus I can't eat high fructose corn syrup but I love katchup. So with that said here I go I have a hundred jars to fill just for this, there goes my weekend. Thank you for this I love it.
Will be making this soon! Most of my tomatoes are still green, except for the cherry tomatoes (western NC). I've always been afraid to try ketchup. My 8 year old eats ketchup on EVERYTHING, so we go through a lot! Thanks for posting this!
That is some beautiful ketchup. Thanks for the tip about the jars. I just love watching you guy's videos because I always learn something new. Thank you!!-----Tressa Daigle
I watched this video and a few others including Chef John's. I kinda made up my own concoction based on your recipe and his because i didn't have as many home canned crushed tomatoes as you did but way more than he did lol. Tastes good warm and I put a dab in the fridge before I canned and as you did, I added a little more spice. Yummy!
Lol that's the firs thing I thought when I saw that they were not ball jars. How will Danny lid the jar! Thanks to Danny I have to put my lid on to match up with the ball logo now also. I am like that at work, everything must be grocery store organized!
Danny the word I think you're looking for is REDUCING, basically you evaporate the water out so that the real flavour is intensified. I re-use all sorts of Jam jars, if you put the liquid in hot to a hot jar and put a hot lid on to it you'll get a good strong seal. That ketchup will thicken even more once it gets cold won't it? Looks SUPER-YUM.
Looks fantastic! I love ketchup! I make fermented ketchup which is super delicious but the base is organic tomato paste. I'd love to try it starting with whole tomatoes. As always, y'all are inspiring and educational. Thank you!
ChickenStamps We dont use store bought tomato paste after finding out that heinze only uses 2% tomatoes and mercury in its products.It takes a little while but it does cook down thick.Thanks
Are these tomatoes some of the ones you put in freezer first. Really want to try it. Wonder what it would taste like if you added a little molasses in it? Next on my list. Thanks for sharing.👍
strain off some of the juice , Found it save cooking time! i use starch to thicken it up! Saves cooking time as well I like mine spicy So i add cayenne pepper, jalapeno peppers or red pepper flakes to my taste ! Yes i grow my own tomato's! I blend them up skin seeds and all. with salt and cayenne pepper. Then put into plastic bags and freeze them until i want to make a sauce or ketchup ect. That the base
Dang you Danny, you cursed me with the "line up the lids" thing! I've been canning for years and never gave it any thought until I saw one of your videos talking about it. Now......I've got to line them up, and I'm definitely not an OCD type at all! Gotta try this recipe. Our tomatoes have been a struggle this year to say the least. I'm in Alabama, so you know how our rain has been too. Blight, wilt, rot, split, bug, you name it, if it afflicts a mater we've had it!
Deep South Homestead can we adjust the recipe to make it a bit sweeter or tangier like the store-bought ones . My family likes Hines or Nelly been doing French's catch-up since Hines moved their processing plant from Ontario to the states and French's ketchup is Canadian .
Danny, you might try using a bulb baster to suck the stuff off the top of the tomatoes as they cook. Looks like you are going to end up with some really tasty ketchup!
