Did you know that tomatoes are native to the Americas? It's hard to imagine Italian food without tomatoes, Irish cooking without potatoes or Asian cuisine without peppers (also native to the Americas). That was all once the case. Not only that but garlic was treated primarily as medicine in the western world until the 1800s when it became increasingly popular in cuisine. Pepper sauce in the early 1800s was usually made with a kind of pepper called the bird pepper. Bird peppers are hotter than a habanero! Tomata Ketchup (The Cook's Dictionary, and House-keeper's Directory 1830) 3 pounds of red tomatoes 2.4 cups of chili vinegar. This can either be the vinegar that chilies are preserved in OR a simple hot sauce (vinegar, chilies, salt). If using hot sauce I recommend the Louisiana Hot Sauce brand as it maintains it's flavor when cooked. If this seems to be too spicy for your liking add only 0.5 cups of hot sauce instead of 2.4 2 tablespoons of diced shallots 1 tablespoon of diced garlic A pinch of salt A pinch of white pepper 3 lemons Wash the tomatoes then place them in an earthen jar. Cover them and bake them at 400 degrees for 1-2 hours, or until the skin is shriveled and wrinkled. Carefully pour out the tomatoes onto a sieve and mash them through. Pour the juice into a cooking pot then add your chili vinegar/hot sauce, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Pour out over a sieve again and mash the softened garlic & shallots through the sieve. To the juice add the juice of 3 lemons. Boil it again till it is reduced to a cream that resembles the thickness of modern ketchup. This can take roughly 20 minutes on medium heat. Be sure to stir frequently. Once thickened remove from your heat & allow to cool. Enjoy!
❤❤❤ I love love 💕 Mish Mish such a beautiful 🐈⬛ I have six cats and a small dog 🐶 … I’m in California n this heat is yucky 🤢 I can’t wait for Fall 🍁 n Winter my two fav seasons. Love you guys n your videos are always a blast ❤to watch. Oh ya how is your new home coming along? May our lord Jesus Christ always be with you both n your families 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The only caution I would add is to make sure you do NOT cook tomatoes in aluminum, copper or cast iron (unless the cast iron is REALLY well-seasoned) as the tomatoes will react with the metals and leach into your tomato sauce, causing a change in taste and even toxicity. Tin-lined cookware or Crockery are better for this food.
The tomatoes look wonderful! Mish Mish will be made an official gardener!! I know the fire in the kitchen was a nessessity but you must be sweating you butt off!! Hats off to the spicy ketchup!!🎉🎉
Hello from small town rural Ohio from the northwest part of the state. That’s seems like a lot of work to make ketchup. We’re so lucky just to walk into our local grocery store to pick up a bottle. Sometimes we take a lot things for granted when back in the 1880’s, we did not have that luxury. Everything had to be literally made from scratch ! And in this unbearable heat stooping over a hearth, wow !!! I’m glad I have my air conditioning home !!!! 😅
There's a great scene from 1944's Meet Me in St Louis starring Judy Garland, at the very beginning, where the house cook is making ketchup. The family members each taste the homemade ketchup and state what they think about it. "Too sweet, too sour, not enough flavor." Heinz probably was available in dry goods stores, but they still chose to make it homemade. Edit: the movie is set in 1904.
Justine, this video was so peaceful to watch. The tomatoes were beautiful and you inspired me to try this with my tomatoes on Sunday! Have a blessed weekend🙏🏼❤️
I love your videos! I just found you and have binge watched. You are very patient and calm while cooking which makes watching a pleasant time. My only wish (and you may address this somewhere), wish (personal opinion only) not criticism, is that you would do a voice over with the receipt. I tend to do other things while watching videos so I miss instructions (I know the receipts at the end) and I do know that there are people who have some difficulty reading while watching (ADD). Opinion comment done. More importantly, You give history in a way that is so concrete by showing and not just reading from a book. You set the stage with your re-enactment through clothes and the cabin. You keep it period oriented. I’m impressed with cooking in a fireplace. I can’t imagine that is easy at all. Well, gotta go…I have more catching up to do. Thank you so much for what you do. I hope homeschoolers out there use these videos and those from the other channel. Be well.
This was great.... I am sure the folks back then enjoyed their condiments to enhance the flavor of their foods as we do today... I was aware of their use of Ketchup, spices, and also they liked Vinegar a lot --- but there really isn't much I've seen regarding what else they might have had as staple sauces they dashed on their meals....
Wow puts all of the work in perspective to make any sauce. That looks good, Justine. I love your garden is functional and pretty. Thank you and have a blessed week! xoxo
I really love these videos. It’s very interesting & I learn a lot too! Thanks & please keep making these videos! Hope your home construction is going well too!
Watching you cook made me think about Thanksgiving. So much cooking over open fire and or wood cook stove, but the food was excellent. Love watching your meals and dishes. Thanks
My great-grandmother she made chili sauce I was so glad it was my old boy but you could put it on everything. Maybe there's a recipe for chili sauce thank you Justin❤
1:15 - Yeah I was wondering about that when you put the date up as 1830. Cause I know the Victorians thought tomatoes were poisonous but it was really the lead in the plates they were eating off of. I didn't know they wouldn't eat garlic either, albeit cause it was thought of as medicine.
When I saw that whole bottle getting dumped in, I wondered what the heck you were doing. 😀. There are so many kinds of hot sauce with different amounts of heat. I’ve made the mistake several times, of adding too much to something that is being greatly reduced. It seems so little at the beginning, but you have to remember the final volume. Still, you inspired me to make a tomato ketchup this fall. I made a mushroom ketchup from the recipe on Townsends channel. Super awesome.
Fabulous episode as always. I made tomato jam for the first time this last summer. I am a city dweller with limited outdoor space but I was gifted a huge amount of fresh country grown tomatoes by a work colleague, and I was just thrilled. But what a process! Even with modern day tools, it took me days to make and 'can' the tomato jam. I can only imagine how daunting this sauce making must have been, 200+ years ago.
Thank you for the recipe, Justine. A catsup made with natural ingredients only. It’s way better than any chemical stuff. Mish Mish was your helper. So cute.🐱❤️
love your videos and been watching for years but just wanted to say I personally prefer quieter music or none at all. I listen to these for the calming sounds and the music is a bit much for sound equalization!
I bought a bottle of catsup years ago when I was in Williamsburg VA. I remember I didn't like it. I wonder if they used the same recipe. Cute video with your reaction and the cat.
😂 I can't help laughing at your reaction to how spicy it is given the fact you knew you were adding hot sauce! Were they really surprised back then that hot sauce was spicy? 😅

I love how Justine tried the ketchup and it was way too spicy yet she couldn't help herself from trying it again😂 I like spicy food too. Lots of love from India❤
Yeah!!! A new video! When you poured that whole bottle of hotsauce into the catsup I said to myself too hot for me🤣. Obviously you are a mega capsaicin fan😁. This is oldest tomato catsup recipe I have seen. I knew about one of it's predecessors mushroom catsup from the 1700s from Townsends channel.
Sorry about that! We are currently reuploading it. When it was uploaded YT skipped a beat and removed 2 minutes of audio for some reason. It will be up again (fixed) by tomorrow. Thank you for your patience. ❤Apparently other channels are having this issue today.
Hello from Sand Springs,OK (west of Tulsa). Your face at the end cracked me up.😂🥵🔥For me cold milk and something sweet like honey or sugar are good remedies for spicy foods.
I don’t like cats but yours is beautiful. This reminds me of Little House on the Prairie episode, where Laura found a black cat during a storm. She kept it as a pet.
Well, Justine, your facial expression told me everything I need to know, that receipt is too spicy for me. But, if I could make my own ketchup without chili peppers, I would definitely want to try. And loved seeing MishMish showing us his stalking skills.
Nice video and good stuff that!, you seem a bit of a chilli head like me!, I'll be trying this recipe, but using modern appliances, mish mash keeping the mice down there as well, he's a handsome chap.
Here in Germany we have spice curry ketchup (Gewürzketchup mit Curry). I guess you can also make it on your own. Just by adding some curry to your selfmade ketchup. Probably a bit healthier than the bought one. You just have to hit the thick consistency.
My wife and I have been watching your videos a long time now, and we’ve wondered: where do you draw the line with historical reenactment? Like, is washing clothes (in the olden style) something you never want to do regularly? What are the least “want to return to that way of doing things” things? Much love from Los Angeles!
Nice kitchen garden and flower bed! You must be so happy. I was thinking, spicy? Until I saw how much hot sauce you used. 🥵 when I made ketchup I used drops of hot sauce. 😂
To cut the burn--put salt in your palm, lick it with your tongue and then take something to drink. It does work. (Trick told to me in a Mexican Restaurant when the food was too spicy for me.)
will you be giving us an update on your home build? how about a video about you setting up the kitchen in your home...would LOVE your thoughts on how you want your kitchen to be.

Hi Justine. Can I use Tabasco sauce? It's a little spicier. But that's what I have. Thank you for Recipe.
@@mayalimon7318 If that is your favorite hot sauce then go for it!

Your tomatoes have taken on a life of their own. I love them!
Mish-Mish the gardening cat!! 🐈⬛💦 🌱🍅🌿
❤❤❤
I know he/she is so cute :)
Cooking over the fire in this heat shows major dedication!
Never thought i’d find videos like this entertaining and soothing but here we are. This is amazing!
Miss Mish in the zinnias 😂
He waits and hides there in the hope that he can chase a bunny 🐰
So cute ❤😊
Justine so funny at the end with the hot ketchup and water 😅
Very funny ending even though water merely spreads the heat. You really need milk or better yet an ice-cold cream sickle.
Or wine. 😃

Doris Day makes tons of ketchup in a movie, too. Is it the one in which she is Beverly Boyer?!
Yes! Such a great scene! One of my favorite movies!
I was thinking of that sceneas I watched this one! Love that film!
@@loririnaldi3408 so did I!
@@Attirbfulthe thrill of it all with happy 🧼 mine and my mother's favorite movie along with move over darling and glass bottom boat ❤
Wow! Looks great. Seems like an easy receipt!!
You both look very happy,I’m so glad
Hello from Southwestern Indiana ❤️
Justine, this video was so peaceful to watch. The tomatoes were beautiful and you inspired me to try this with my tomatoes on Sunday! Have a blessed weekend🙏🏼❤️
My family loves Catsup, lol. Going to make this on Sunday with tatar tots, thank you and I wish you both a terrific weekend.
This video has perfect timing. I was just canning tomatoes the other day and plan to do more this weekend.
i LOVE THIS, thank you!
I love seeing you pick the fresh ingredients. You should add that to videos more often if u can! ❤

That's the first time I lol'd while watching here! Spicy!
LOL I love that you go back for a second taste!
I have the exact same cat. He was a stray I fed all winter and finally he became my buddy. Bruce is a good boy

Such a Neat Video. Never seen Catsup made before. Good work Justine.
Watching you cook made me think about Thanksgiving. So much cooking over open fire and or wood cook stove, but the food was excellent. Love watching your meals and dishes. Thanks
Really enjoy the vlogs you post. I’m a pretty keen cook and I find them inspiring also what a beautiful location.
This reminds me of mornings and summer days with my grandma. She used to make homemade tomato sauce and ketchup🍅♡
My great-grandmother she made chili sauce I was so glad it was my old boy but you could put it on everything. Maybe there's a recipe for chili sauce thank you Justin❤
Hugs to Mish Mish! 🤗 😽
Thanks so much for these wonderful videos!
Luv these videos. So calming
I really appreciate these videos because it goes to show how much work it takes to make a bottle of ketchup

I saw your wedding on Believe+ on my newsfeed when I opened my computer this morning!!!!! I saved a screenshot but can't upload it here.
Back to a time that was simpler , but difficult . Hard times come us no more !
That actually looks really good, i'm going to have to try making it!
I’m definitely trying this one! ❤
Awesome looks good 👍

Wow...making ketchup back in the day, was quite a process, but I'll bet it tasted really good (and spicy). Thanks Justine!
Me gusta la receta y el minino tambien😂❤
Hi 👋🏻 u are amazing 🧡 I enjoy watching your video 👍 good job 👌🏻
What a great job you did
As a spicy food lover, this looks amazing!!! I want to try it :)
Hahaha! Such a trooper.. I literally can’t handle spice of any level 😂
Glad to see mishmish with you. That seems like a lot of work but fulfilling for ketchup
😂 I can't help laughing at your reaction to how spicy it is given the fact you knew you were adding hot sauce! Were they really surprised back then that hot sauce was spicy? 😅
This receipt is very interesting! I like spicy and garlic and tomatoes! It was comical at the end! Rebecca and David Back.

Our tomatoes aren't rising up this year. Too much rain not enough sun?? Idk? Very odd
Hello from Sand Springs,OK (west of Tulsa). Your face at the end cracked me up.😂🥵🔥For me cold milk and something sweet like honey or sugar are good remedies for spicy foods.
Easy as pie. I'll try making my own, with a touch of brown sugar for modern taste. 😊
Beautiful garden Justine
I don’t like cats but yours is beautiful. This reminds me of Little House on the Prairie episode, where Laura found a black cat during a storm. She kept it as a pet.
Looks like a lot of work but I’m sure it’s Delicious. Love Mr. Kitty 🐈⬛ in the tall grass.
Beautiful Mish Mish! The Ketchup looks delicious!
