MURRAY'S KETCHUP LOVERS SLUMGULLION (LITE-BLEU)

Steps:

• In a large pot, cook ground beef, onion, and green pepper.
• Drain and return to pot.
• Add remaining ingredients and cook until heated thru.

FRUIT KETCHUP

Steps:

• Peel and core tomatoes. Chop all fruits and vegetables in 1/2 inch cubes.
• Put fruits, vegetables, vinegar, sugar, salt, pickling spices, and black pepper in a heavy-bottomed pot and stir to mix thoroughly.
• Bring to a boil and simmer for an hour.
• While ketchup is simmering, sterilize enough Mason jars and lids to hold the recipe.
• When fruit ketchup has simmered for an hour, fill the jars up to a 1/4 inch from the rim, cover with a lid and screw loosely. Wait for lids to pop and screw them tighter.
• Store jars in a dark cool place. Let fruit ketchup stand for at least three weeks before serving. Fruit ketchup will keep for a year.

GREEN TOMATO KETCHUP - QUEBEC STYLE CHOW-CHOW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, alternate layers of tomatoes and onions, sprinkling each layer with salt.
• Let stand for at least 8 hours, better overnight.
• Rinse; drain well.
• Combine vegetables with vinegar, sugar and spice bag.
• In a large saucepan or stock pot, bring mixture to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, for about 30 to 45 minutes.
• Stir frequently until slightly thickened.
• Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal.

QUEBEC FRUIT KETCHUP

Steps:

• Peel and cut the tomatoes in big chunks.
• Peel, cut the core away and cut the apples in pieces.
• Slice the celery stalks thinly.
• Cut the pepper, slice off the seeds and cut in small pieces.
• Peel the onions and slice them to obtain nice thin slices.
• Pour the fruit cocktail can through a sieve and keep only the fruits.
• Put all the ingredients except the fruit cocktail in a big pot, bring to a boil and reduce heat so that it only makes little bubbles (slow to medium-slow heat).
• For the whole cooking period, put 3 pennies evenly spaced on your burner to avoid the sticking in the bottom of your pot. Also, it is important to stir often: cook for one hour then add the fruit cocktail pieces and cook for another hour. The consistency of the liquid part of this ketchup is similar to a thick syrup and you can verify by putting a spoonful in a cold saucer when near the end of the cooking time.
• Put in sterilized jars (Mason type) and close the lids.
• Store in a dark cool place.

BLUEBERRY KETCHUP

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion, garlic, and ginger in hot oil until the onion begins to turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir salt, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, cayenne pepper, and celery seed into the onion mixture; continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is completely softened, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Stir blueberries and brown sugar into the onion mixture. Mash the berries as they cook until completely softened, about 10 minutes.
• Blend the blueberry mixture with an immersion blender until the mixture is thick with no large chunks. Stir balsamic vinegar into blueberry mixture, reduce heat to low, and cook at a simmer until thickened to your liking, 10 to 15 minutes more.
