Home made tomato ketchup.
(yup your right.. im running out of ideas of things to so with all these tomatoes)
3.5kgs good sweet fleshy tomatoes chopped
500ml cider vinegar
80g of sugar (less if your using super sweet little cherry tomatoes)
4 garlic cloves chopped
3 cardamon pods crushed
2 tsps of good quality medium paprika
1 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of the following:
white pepper
ground cloves
mace
all spice
cinnamon
(dont use to much! the flavors are supposed to subtly enhance the tomatoes not overpower them)
Put all the ingredients in a large heavy bottomed pot and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Pass the mixture though a food processor or food mill.
If the ketchup still feels a bit thin put it back in the pot and simmer until thickened.
If its already nice and thick bottle or fill jars i find jars are just easier.
