Homemade Ketchup And Cocktail Sauce
  • Makes 2 1/2 cups ketchup and/or cocktail sauce
What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • For the ketchup
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 28 ounces can whole tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the cocktail sauce
  • 1 cup homemade ketchup (from above)
  • 5 tablespoons freshly ground horseradish
  • 2 dashes of Tabasco sauce, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
  1. Heat canola oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion and red bell pepper for 6-8 minutes, until soft and starting to brown. Add garlic and tomato paste, and stir until the paste darkens a bit, about 2 minutes. Stir in canned tomatoes, brown sugar, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, ground allspice, ground cloves, cayenne, cinnamon, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 50 minutes. Ketchup should be a nice dark red and thick.
  2. Let cool completely. Remove bay leaf, then transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Taste, adjust the seasoning.
  3. Transfer to an air tight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 weeks or in the freezer for longer.
  4. The above recipe yields 2½ cups of ketchup, so scale up the remaining ingredients if you plan to turn it all into cocktail sauce. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
