Six pints of homemade ketchup!
Maggie Bullock
Begin with twelve pounds of tomatoes. I supplemented garden tomatoes with some from the Spokane Farmer's Market.
After the initial cooking, use a food mill to separate the tomato pulp from the tough fibers, seeds, and skins. Don't forget to add the fibers to the compost!
Reduce the juice and pulp by about half. This takes time, but very little attention. A good, heavy pot is needed to prevent scorching.
Fill jars and process according to the recipe.
A counter full of sealed jars is a beautiful sight.
