Homemade Ketchup

You will need:

1 Lg Kettle

2 quart jars with lids

bender

 2 1/2 quarts tomato juice

3/4 cup red wine vinegar (the other recipe called for reg but I thought it seems to strong?)

1 Lg Onion

2 Tbsp sea salt

1/2tsp plus 1/8 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp red pepper

1/2 tsp plus 1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp cloves

2 1/2 cups sugar (I didn't have raw on hand so used refined)

Clear jell or cornstarch

Quarter the onion and put in the blender. Cover with tomato juice and blend well. Pour onion and rest of tomato juice into the kettle and add salt and spices.

Cook down till it seems a lot like ketchup.(I don't know how long that takes as I had to turn mine off in the middle of cook down to go pick up Steve) Add the sugar and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Thicken with Clear Jell to however thick you want it!

Cool.

Pour into jars.

Refrigerate.

Enjoy!
