Knowing that there are certain thing that are going to be difficult to live without, I made a batch of ketchup. I am horrible with following recipes, This is the approximate recipe, measurements my not seem very exact. First I had frozen tomatoes from our garden that we froze last year. I pulled out 2 large freezer bags of these. This was enough tomatoes to fill our dutch oven.
4 quarts of tomatoes
2 medium onions sliced
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 Tbls of sunflower oil (did not want to use peanut oil here as you never know who might use this)
½ cup of cider vinegar
2 Tbls of honey
2 tsp of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper flakes (I have some roasted/smoked hot peppers from the garden last year)
Put oil into the pot and heat. Once it is hot add the onions and stir. Cook the onions for about 8 minutes until soft, tender and translucent. Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer until it very thick, this was about 3 hours for me. Put sauce into a blender and puree. Bottle (I had an empty ketchup bottle so I put half in that and froze the rest)
