Recipe Tomato ketchup

You saw Helma´s kitchen garden. Now it is TOMATO TIME.

Here is a recipe for a delicious tomato ketchup:

• 2.5 kilo´s of tomatoes (remove the seeds from the tomatoes as much as possible in order to make the sauce less runny)
• 1 red pepper
  
• 2 medium size onions
• garlic clove, from the press
• 100 ml of vinegar
• 75 gr. sugar
• 2 teaspoons grated ginger
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons nutmeg
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1 clove
• pepper
• juice of half a lemon
  

Wash the tomatoes and cut them into pieces. Wash peppers and cut into pieces, remove the seeds.

Add the tomato, pepper, onion, lemon juice and garlic with a dash ofwater in a saucepan and simmer about 1 hour on low heat. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking. Add, if needed, a little bit water. Mash the sauce, off the fire with a hand blender.

Put it back on the fire and add the vinegar, sugar and spices.

Allow the sauce to simmer for another 1.5 hours, or until it has thickened sufficiently. Test it on salt and pepper. Pour the hot sauce into sterile jars. Seal the jars with a matching lid and turn it upside down to cool.
