This morning I made a fresh batch of Spiced Tomato Ketchup to double check this recipe and was so happy with the results. Fresh tomatoes are blended with onion and garlic. A unique mix of spices are added creating a touch of hot, slightly sweet, acidic and bold flavor. This is not your standard sweet ketchup, it is rich and a bit spicy. It takes a little time to thicken but is worth it. The flavors meld together over time and the pink blended mixture turns into a deep red ketchup. Enjoy!
