    FYI WHEN USING A NESCO ROASTER OPEN WITH NO LID. COVER WITH ONE LAYER OF CHEESE CLOTH, NO KNATS OR FLIES WILL FALL IN YOU TOMATOES WILL STILL REDUCE. THE STEAM WILL EVAPORATE THE SAME.. I HAD DONE THIS FOR YEARS.. THIS IS THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD .. to know you finely have a recipe work out then turn out the way you wanted.. CONGRATULATIONS

    To reduce the extra water, I put my cooked mixture in a pitcher, refrigerate overnight. The 'water' part of the tomatoes stays on top. With the tomatoes on the bottom of the pitcher, it is easy enough to slowly drain the water. This really helps to evaporate the liquid.

    Hi Sarah, Just wanted to let you know... I made your ketchup and love it! However, cooking the tomatoes down in the Nesco 18 quart roaster, the tomatoes burned onto the sides of the roaster (maybe I had the heat too high?) and was impossible to clean off. The insert was ruined. I reached out to Nesco, and they graciously agreed to provide me with a new insert (under warranty), which was really really generous! They did tell me, however, that they DO NOT recommend cooking high acid foods like tomatoes (and she mentioned apple sauce) in their roasters because it breaks down the finish on the insert. I just thought I'd pass that on. She said they recommend only using stainless steel pots for cooking down tomatoes... I just didn't want anyone else to have my bad experience. :)

    Also, when you're processing your other tomatoes, dehydrate the peels. That is where the thickening seems to happen. I tried it when going for the 'zero waste' produce idea, and dehydrated the skins. Added the powdered skins to a beef stew and the flavor was over the top rich and the stew thickens each time I've used it. The only down side is, the Racoon Compost Raiders are a little miffed with the loss of goods.

    Many years ago, there was a program on the Heinz name. It was called "Secrets from the Vault". It said that the secret ingredient in the Ketchup was golden raisins.I would substitute 1 cup of the sugar with 2 cups of golden raisins and cook it down with the tomatoes. Just a thought.

    I wish we in the UK had such wonderful crops of tomatoes. We have had the worst year for blight I can ever remember, and I am nearly 79. I lost my huge crop literally overnight; in fact, it's been a disastrous year for so many other plants as well. Makes me realise just how nature can really remind us that it's in charge, not us.

    • @laurieclarkson9180
      @laurieclarkson9180 2 года назад +5

      I just started growing tomatoes about 5 years ago and the first year was amazing but the past 4 years for me, the blight has been terrible. This was by far the WORST for me so far. I'm in U.S. but my climate is probably more hot and humid than Living Traditions. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one having difficulty, even though I wish NONE of us had to deal with blight! Horrible!

      @teresacoffman5529 2 года назад +6

      I’m not completely sure about this but I do think it should be researched. Melissa K Norris had an episode on her YT channel this summer about blight. She said that once you see it you need to remove those plants immediately and throw them away, not in the compost. She said once it is in the soil you will have to wait a few years before you can plant in that area again because it will reappear. Please research this further so you will know what you need to do in your own garden.

    Yes indeed there have been Ketchup recipes around as long as I can remember , and I am one of the people that really knows for sure ...For one , I am a HEINZ LOVER , but I know first hand just how good Homemade Ketchup can be ... Over 60 / 62 years ago my Mother & Her Mpther ( referred here out as Granny ) decided we were canning tomatoes as fast as we could & was coming to a point of canning way more tomatoes (whole , chunked , puree , sauce ,etc... and would still have way more tomatoes than we could use ...SOOOOOO , long story short , GRANNY decided one solution to keep from wasting we should make KETCHUP ....Don't know where the recipe came from , never saw her bring one out , but we made A COUPLE or so CAULDRONS of Ketchup up & canned them too... YES I DID SAY CAULDRONS........I don't know about today but 60 some years ago you could RENT COPPER CAULDRONS with Tripod , Wooden Paddle and all other accessories need along with it all from your FRIENDLY SOUTHERN STATES STORE .... I should know , you see , I had to go with them to get it & take it back & also it ended up being my job to stir the Cauldron to make the KETCHUP..... The KETCHUP ended up a little thicker , not as sweet , & not quite as VINEGARY as Heinz & was still every bit as good as HEINZ ....I do believe GRANNY could have made it exactly as HEINZ , but they discussed it & decided on a few changes according to their tastes ...
    This turned out so well that they decided to keep the COPPER CAULDRON a little longer & MAKE APPLE BUTTER for as long as the excess apples from our trees held out .... YES ...ONCE AGAIN , it became my job to sit , tend the fire & stir the CAULDRON ...I SWEAR , all I needed was a BLACK POINTED HAT & a BLACK CAPE With a Wort with a hair & I would look just like those HALLOWEEN POSTERS , L.O.L........
    So , I for one do believe that with the right recipe making HOMEMADE KETCHUP can be made to taste just as good or maybe even better then Any other ones of commercially made KETCHUP ....AND , Best reason of all that it tastes so good , there are NONE of those NASTY ADDITIVES for taste , color , or ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES ADDED ..... THANK YOU ...

You don't even have to chop the apples up very much...I just use an old fashioned potato masher after they are done cooking to get the texture I want. I add one cup of unfiltered natural apple cider at the start for the liquid, and a pinch of salt, plus I like to cook several varieties of apples together. The results are great.

      You can also hang your tomatoes in a jelly bag type bag and just let the juice drain out in a pot. The juice is very nutritious and can be used just to drink, or in sauces, etc. Saves a ton of time and energy cooking down the tomatoes, and you don't waste the tomato water.

    When I do it, I press out the liquid with my hands, place the mooshed tomatoes in the Blendtec, blend, then pour it into a slow cooker. It's actually faster and easier that way. It cooks down faster because it starts with less liquid. Plus, I do get some tomato juice instead of having it boil away. It also condenses it into my much smaller crockpot because I don't have a roaster.

      Core your tomatoes and put them in a big ziplock and freeze them, when you thaw them the watery juice is separated from the tomatoes without losing any tomato, the juice is clear, it will have a little sediment after sitting in a jar but most of the tomato stays intact !!! Cooks up so much quicker for tomato sauce, paste or ketchup ! Then the almost clear tomato juice is still good for the liquid in a recipe or I add a little salt and drink it 😍
      If wanting to slip the skins, coring and freezing is also the best, skins slip right off !!!
      Best of luck

    • @traciperkins6250

    Giving ketchup a try today and hopefully canning it up in the morning! We had a quick freeze come thru last week and had to harvest A LOT of tomatoes. After sharing with neighbors and donating to the DAV, we still had too many. Good timing on this particular video before canning more salsa and tomatoes. I had to wait for a few to ripen a bit before starting, but here we go! When the tomatoes started breaking down, I added everything except the sugar then split the batch into 2 roasters as I had a request to try making some sugar free. We had just freeze dried 4 trays of plain tomato slices, so powdered them up to thicken in case that becomes necessary. Thank you for sharing your recipes, garden knowledge and being honest about products, your harvests and sharing your family. We have become better gardeners from channels like yours and I have become more confident with canning.

I tried another reviewers suggestion of one cup sugar and one cup golden raisins. I liked the flavor but I did end up adding about another 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup sugar in addition.
