This is a traditional ketchup from quebec. It's delicious served with meats, but we especially like it with Tortiere. Sometimes fruit (apple or peaches- grated) were added, and that would be added to the saucepan before boiling. Ingredients:
30 medium green tomatoes, chopped (about 6 pounds) |
15 medium onions, chopped (about 3 pounds) |
2/3 cup coarse salt |
3 cups white vinegar |
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar |
6 tablespoons mixed pickling spices, tied in cheesecloth |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, alternate layers of tomatoes and onions, sprinkling each layer with salt.
2. Let stand for at least 8 hours, better overnight.
3. Rinse; drain well.
4. Combine vegetables with vinegar, sugar and spice bag.
5. In a large saucepan or stock pot, bring mixture to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, for about 30 to 45 minutes.
6. Stir frequently until slightly thickened.
7. Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal.
