Jared: "Good night, tamarillo ketchup" The Ketchup: "Good night, Lord of Sideburns"

"Ｇｏｏｄｎｉｇｈｔ Ｊａｒｅｄ"

GF: whatcha watchin? Me: oh you know, everyones favorite segment, Will it Ketchup! GF: ....😑

These ketchup vids are really entertaining, you should do more stuff like this. Maybe smoothies and other recipes? Idk. Keep up the good stuff!

we have a bunch of those planted in my university, when quarantine ends i'll try this out

So my mother, has made a jelly out of tomatoes, basically just sugar tomatoes, little bit of water and cinnamon. Makes the tomatoes taste really fruity, it kinda reminds me of like strawberry jelly, but a bit more tangy. I bet these would make an incredible jelly

suggestion for thing to ketchup, not necessarily a weird fruit, but aubergine (eggplant) could be interesting, probably has a totally different taste, but it is a tomato relative.

Persimmon and plantains would have a good shot of ketchuping, but personally I'd love to see you try and make ketchup out of tomatillos. Also a relative of tomatoes,

In before someone tells you to clean your stove!

it would be interesting to see you try mushroom ketchup, it is something that was popular historically.

Try using a ladle rather than a spatula for pushing it through the strainer. It's MUCH faster and easier

Never heard of this fruit as an organic farmer I've grown hundreds of diffrent heirloom tomtatoes. I bet you could make a killer hot sauce with those Peppers your recently got and this tomarillo :)

Tamarillos(Tomate de arbol) here produce a huge amount of fruit, I may try to make ketchup next season.We love your videos(and fruit) Cheers from Uruguay, South America.

This would be really good for making hot sauce!

In very good restaurants we worked hard on homemade ketchup with tomatoes and it's very difficult to appeal to regular people without using MSG (which isn't a demon substance, most anecdotal info on it is incorrect). But doing it with this would probably forebear comparison to commercial brands and bring something new to the table. Thanks. Now got to find a cheap truckload of them. Another thing I do every year is come up with a new delicious chutney for thanksgiving. Persimmon, quince, whatever I can get from Oregon farms. Gotta stay ahead of the pretenders though they are still making cranberry-ginger-orange chutney that we came up with in the '80s.

Seems like it would be a good sauce on like a Gyro or a steak or lamb dish

I say try granny smith apples. Pretty sure they won't ketchup at all

I don’t know how I stumbled upon this channel/video. But I’m now subscribed and I’m going to binge watch your videos at 2am

Never considered Tamarillos for this purpose 🤔, good idea!

if you like your ketchup to taste like conventional Heinz type ketchup, Clove is the most important spice.

I knew before I even heard the special sound

Awesome keep up the good work dude oh and a fun fact did You know that exotic fruits are commonly grown in the streets like blue pea or acacia or maybe lime and malavacae members

The RU-vid algorithm provides

next do sour/unripe mango ketchup!

Dragonfruit ketchup? That would be interesting (plus, I love Dragonfruits)

You can start collecting seeds and growing them

I just watched a video of one of your acts and realized your voice sounded incredibly chestier. Also I now realize why you keep yourself so slim because you're a contortionist haha

In Quebec we call chutney "fruit ketchup".

More weird fruit cooking! It's the logical next step! WeirdFruitChef 🤤🤤

Avocado ketchup

I literally shouted when I heard the music (Im ten days of quarantine in, dont judge me lol). Woke my dog and cat up from an exhausted early midafternoon nap and earned some dirty looks. Anybody want a couple pets that have *zero taste* in youtube content?

I never know what to do with them. They're good, but they're this mix of tomato-savoury and a eat-out-of-hand sweet-acid fruit, so... how to categorize them? I've often thought they'd be good in a salad, though I've never tried it. Ketchup and salsas are good ideas :) Bet you could do the same with other "kind-of-tomatoey" solanums, or even non-solanum solanaceae (for example, physalis) and get good results. :)

Good night jared

Worthy of a third video

filipino banana ketchup!

You should add your spices *after* you bring the mix to a boil (as opposed to beforehand); High heat destroys flavors and vitamins

bruh there's nothing wrong with using metal on metal, it's metal on teflon coated pans because it scratches and removes the teflon

Jared: "Good night, tamarillo ketchup" The Ketchup: (in Herbert da Pervert voice) "nighty 'night, sweety..."

7:51 the brand Ba-mix is pronounced like Bar Mix, as in it's a stick blender used in a bar.

Some say he stands in that same kitchen to this very day... immersion blender long rusted, delicious tamarillo-ketchup long dried, cursed to forever remain prepping the condiment that was not t- Oh, it was tasty? That's wonderful! :)

I don't know why exactly but if I had seen your face for the first time I would have guessed you are a fruit reviewer.

How in the world did you ever come to dedicate your existence to weird fruits? 😜 And we all seem to be obsessed with watching this weirdness. OK, I guess I answered my own question! 🤣

Idek how to make normal ketchup n u making tamarillo ketchup lol

Mebbe try making onion ketchup?

just a tip, start scraping the sides of your pot while u cook, its just a little neater and easier to clean.

banana ketchup is pretty good

Durian ketchup?

Good video but a 'cup' is not a measurement

have that tree just patiently waiting for that tree to grow, always enjoy your videos , have bought so........many fruit trees online thanks to your videos

Show me the way to tamarillo.

Interesting idea. I’ve never been able to get my head around tamarillos...they just taste funky to me. They say you have to eat them a few times before you start liking them. I didn’t. :-)

Challenge: Make a palatable noni ketchup.

It's about as related to Tomatoes as Tobacco is.

Bamix is the best. When you're in Europe you can also buy ESGE Zauberstab it's essentially the same but marketed for the German market and it's generally cheaper than the Bamix brand. But it's made by the same Swiss manufacturer and is identical.

burning the outer layer makes it more tasty

When I heard that sacred tone I knew it was time for my favorite segment

Mango habenaro ketchum would be a good flavor I'd think.

Have you tried the following fruits from India 1) falsa 2) char 3) badhar 4) tendu 5) phirni

I recently found a book from 1879 titled house keeping in old Virginia. There's a recipe on page 298 for walnut catsup, ill send you a picture if you'd like to make it. I know I am!!!

Hmm, try more ketchups of Solanum species and relatives. It'll be interesting.

I've never seen dragon fruit ketchup before. That could be cool.

Jared: "Good night, tamarillo ketchup" The Ketchup: (in Herbert da Pervert voice) "nighty 'night, sweety..."

I am so pleased most of the world rejects catsup in favor of ketchup.

Gojiberry Ketchup?

I think these might actually be better for ketchup than tomatoes. Would compare the flavor to Tomato and Passionfruit

sweetened condensed milk and ice tamarillo smoothie, don't eat the skin.

You recently covered a fruit related to ground cherries, similar to gooseberries. I tried them recently and now I’m thinking that they’d ketchup well.

living in SoCal makes it painful whenever he pronounces it wrong

Jave you tried banana ketchup? I highly recommend you do if not ;)

You deserve more subscribers

I just discovered you the other day, and I just want to say within the first three days of me finding you. I have told everyone I know about your channel. keep it up! so they think my video recommendations are good

noni ketchup?

Jack Fruit Ketchup!!!!

Could you add a little bit of beet at the beginning of cooking, or beet powder, to color it red?

Like 1000 on the dot

Maybe you could just use regular tomatoes. Add some tomato paste during the process. And a mango and a guava. And get something very similar. At least that's what I'm getting from this. Also... Thanks to opening my eyes to the possibility of homemade ketchup. Looks pretty simple to do.

The tomango

Maybe lulo ketchup in the sonulum family

Sorry im late

Next time I would suggest, scoring the skin in quarters then boiling water drop them in for a few seconds to make the skin pliable, pull and drop in an ice bath. then you can remove the skin and still use everything.

I really want to make pasta sauce with these now. Serve it with a nice chunk of mahi mahi or something over fettuccine. YUM.

kepchup

Ok I was watching something that mentioned the things wine grape growers were trying during prohibition to keep their heads above water, so to speak. They mentioned trying ketchup and I thought, who would try that? 😃 I know! The weird fruit guy! So I was hoping maybe you'd try to make wine grape ketchup sometime.

We have many of these trees on our property and every year I make jam, chutney and frozen yoghurt with the pulp. Easiest way is to cut stalk off about 20 and place in large bowl with plate on top and microwave for approx 5 mins. Leave to get cool. The whole fruit pops out cleanly with no waste. Process and strain out seeds. Use as needed. It freezes really well.

I read that Walnut ketchup was a thing.

Hey man, I have no idea how you ended up in my RU-vid algorithm, but I really enjoyed this video. I'm from the future, and let me tell you, COVID-19 really sucks. Good thing is, we're all stuck inside watching RU-vid videos and playing video games all day. The bad news is that we're all stuck inside watching RU-vid videos and playing video games all day. Your channel is bringing me a little bit of sanity in an insane world, and I really appreciate it.

Hello Jared I happen to really love tamarillo! I think you're right in defining it as a strange (but very appealing to my taste) mix between sweeter tomato varieties and guava, maybe also with some mango and passion fruit into it! I love that moderate fruity sweetness, that tartness, and also that kind of bitter aftertaste into outer pulp, which doesn't detract much from its goodness in my opinion! It could be easily grown in my country, Italy, at least in warmer zones, but I think that nobody actually does it. It's fairly extensively grown in Bali ( I've been there several times) in mountainous zones, and last time I was there, I tried a fruit mix made of pure tamarillo. It tasted awesome!! It was deep pink to red in colour, so it was much likely made using red variety, which I find somewhat different but just as good as yellow and orange ones. I was at a place which is quite close to Kintamani, so maybe at an altitude higher than 1000 m.

I wonder if this would b up my alley. I like Ketchup with a TANG/TARTness to it which used ta b Hunts, but they recently changed their recipe & now its too sweet. If any1 knows a good tart/tangy Ketchup, lemme know, thx.

I've watched a few of these.. You could do a few things to make this easier on you. #1, way more water. You can reduce later, but there's no reason it needs to be thick going through the strainer. The thinner it is, the easier it goes through. Also allows you to rinse the strainer and get rid of pulp, make it go EVEN FASTER! The more water you have, the higher the heat can be without burning too, reducing cooking time in both oven, and on the stove if you wanted. The higher heat also breaks down the fruit faster. #2. Just stick it in the oven on a low heat for an hour or two with a lid on. It'll break down even more than it would on the stove in 30 mins, and you'll get a bit of browning, which = flavour along the sides that you can mix back in. It also means that you might have to stir it just like, 2 or 3 times instead of constantly watching it for 30+ mins. #3, blend longer, longer than you think you would. An extra 2 mins could be 30% less time in the strainer, in addition to having it already thinner because of water.. The companies that make ketchup have an advantage you don't, They use tomato paste, It's already smooth and without pulp. You need to do further processing to ensure your fruits are easier to strain and process. This means, a bit thinner, longer cooking time, longer blending, and then the straining part will be significantly reduced, especially for things like your mango ketchup, then all you do is just heat on very low for another 5-10 mins, with occasional stirring and it should hit the right consistency. It'll definitely save you the 30+ mins of straining that you've done on some of these ketchups. Your IN the kitchen time is significantly reduced this way. If you really wanted to speed this up, you could use a pressure cooker. Instead of 30 mins on the stove it could be 10, because it reaches a MUCH higher heat as well.

I'm a big fan of using tamarillo instead of tomatoes in daal or chana masala. I've been trying to grow some this year, it's been tricky! Ooh other ketchups you say?! How about trying Noni ketchup 😂 But I do wonder about how Lulo- Solanum quitoense would ketchup, it's been a long time since I tried it I might have to get some and try.... when this pandemic is over! On an unrelated note has anyone tried underripe kiwano/horned melon?

Hint for straining stuff fast: If you have a large fine strainer you can use a soup ladle to push it around, and it goes through in no time.

I've watched townsends, and it's a....colonial-era themed channel. One of his vids featured 'mushroom catsup' so we have historical precedent for making ketchup out of errrrrrrything.

You can make ketchup out of anything. It was originally fish guts, but there's also oyster ketchup, egg whites, mushrooms, grapes, walnuts, etc.

Sí, "salsa" sale bien con "ají amarillo" (Peruvian Chilies). Pasar por el procesador con el ají dorado en aceite con ajos y cebollas, sal, pimienta, limón o vinagre de manzana y algo de miel. También el ají, ajos y cebollas podrían asarse a la parrilla o "tatemado" como dicen en México. Me falta probarlo en Chutney. Acerca del nombre "Tamarillo", hay que mencionar que lo inventaron en Nueva Zelanda, donde trabajaron la fruta tal como se hizo con el berry proveniente de China al que bautizaron como "Kiwi". Sobre Ketchup, oí que en Filipinas lo hacen con plátanos, con o sin tomate. Te alcanzo el dato acerca de la fruta conocida como "Mullaca", Muehlenbeckia volcanica. No la he probado y por lo que sé es bastante difícil de conseguir. Si alguna vez vas al Cuzco puedes preguntar por ella.

I've never tried to ketchup anything other than tomatoes or anchovies. But. Tomatoes are my favorite fruit. And these did not impress me at all. First of all, it's tastes nothing like a tomato. It tastes exactly what it looks like... A plum! Too sweet, too sour, and way crunchier than a tomato should ever be. I would still like to try the red variety, but I suspect it's gonna be more of the same.

I think ketchup should be primarily savory, what about incorporating eggplant?

it would be cool if you made tomato ketchup as well so you can test both homemade ketchups side by side

Why do I find the jump cuts to you blending ketchup at odd intervals hilarious? lol I like you're strange sense of humor 🤣 please never change Jared!
