Apple Ketchup
From The Joy of Pickling by Linda Ziedrich.- Ingredients:
- 1 quart applesauce
- 3/4 lb. onions, minced
- 1 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 c. cider vinegar
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp. dry mustard
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp. pickling salt
Combine all of the ingredients in a nonreactive pot. Simmer them, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, or until the ketchup is as thick as you like.
Ladle the ketchup into pint or half pint mason jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace, and close the jars with two piece caps. Process the jars for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath.
Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place.
Makes about 3 pints.
