Ketchup with apples

Cookinero 31 Dec 2022

Homemade ketchup with apples is a variation on the classic theme, which has its undeniable advantages. Firstly, the consistency of such a product is denser than a sauce made only from tomatoes. The fact is that apples are rich in pectin, which is a natural thickener. Secondly, we note the special, more intense taste of such ketchup, enriched with pleasant fruity notes. Well, one cannot fail to note the exquisite aroma of the sauce, for which, again, one should say “thank you” to the apples. The process of making ketchup is not too complicated, so even a hostess who is not very experienced in the field of home canning can check our recipe in practice.

Ketchup with apples - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Once opened, store the ketchup in the refrigerator. It should last for about 2-3 weeks.
Yes, you can reduce the sugar, but keep in mind that sugar acts as a preservative. Reducing it significantly may shorten the shelf life. Taste as you go and adjust to your preference.
This ketchup is delicious with grilled meats, fries, burgers, or even as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets. Its unique flavor also pairs well with veggie burgers and roasted vegetables.
While freshly ground spices offer the best flavor, you can use pre-ground. Start with half the amount called for and adjust to taste, as pre-ground spices can be more potent.
Yes, this ketchup recipe is naturally vegan as it only contains plant-based ingredients.
While a food mill or sieve will give you the smoothest texture, in a pinch you can use a blender or immersion blender to puree the ketchup after cooking. Be very careful when blending hot liquids!
