Made Ketchup last night...what a bloodbath

Made more than I thought the ingredients would make. Used the smaller blender jar.
Slow roasted a tray of tomatoes with lots of garlic and onion. Lots of Mexican dried
chilis in hot water to soften while toms were oven drying.

two different heat levels. One for the kids just using ancho chilis. Maple syrup.
Adult heat level I used guajillo, pula, costeno, ancho, and my home grown Aji.

One sauce I left chunky and added tarragon and lemon juice and zest.

Made a olive caper tapenade with some of the toms. And I'll make a fresh salsa tonight.

Most of the tomatoes were early picking and some not that great. Good way to use them
up.

Good as is but adding any combination to your liking...AC vinegar, cumin, turmeric,
mustard powder, worcestershire, tamari, maple syrup or honey....

Made the mustard 'bears' last week.

Having a casual brunch this Sunday.
Bruschetta
Zucchini Flower, green tomato Frittata
Great American Burger, (fresh ground)
Tomato salad, green salad
Corn on the cob
fresh cherry Clafouti (Julia Child recipe) I add dark chocolate chunks

Wow, your kitchen looks fun! ;-) So, you put tarragon in the ketchup? I have never used that spice and had someone ask just recently what to use it in. What does it add to the sauce?

Lets see, how to explain FrenchTarragon. No, it is in a chunkier sauce I made with some
of the slow roasted tomatoes. But it would be great in a Ketchup!

It is a bit like Thai Basil. Maybe. It grow well in color climates and will return most years.

I like it in a tomato salad side dish with steak. Or on burgers.

I'l probably add it with mixed herbs in the frittata. Great with eggs.

Best discovery is using bland early harvest tomatoes...I have a small heart pumping
out fruit but bla...slow roasting on a heat tray, 225, for a couple hours until concentrated
really perks up flavor.

Think I may add grilled cheese; pesto, mozzarella, roasted toms. On homemade Boule.
A six yr old said a few yrs ago, "this is the best grilled cheese ever!"
Might be a good way to avoid hot dogs. I do love a good 'dog', but the parents try to
avoid the hot-dog-a-day that is at every summer gathering.

I use Tarregon and lots of it too. As you can see by looking back at my post #65:

That was for yellow banana pepper catsup, but I make red catsup/chili sauce versions too. It says "to taste" but in my case that generally means a whole lot.

Tarragon is like cilantro in that you love it or you hate it, no middle ground. I love it in potato soup and I have a potato salad recipe with fresh herbs where it steal the show. No tomatoes in it though.

I've never tried it in catsup before since I like tangy, spicy, or earthy/smokey in catsup and tarragon is herby and almost floral. Maybe I'll try it this year with green or white tomatoes and give it an herbal name. (just because it's tarragon catsup doesn't mean I have to call it that ;-). Zebra sauce? Cherokee lime spread? We'll see.

That sounds interesting, oldman. Let us know how it turns out. Sounds like something that could be good on chicken.

I thought about it some more. I'm thinking since I like tarragon with potato I want a catsup I can mix with mayo to get a great fry sauce, but that has enough tanginess to stand on its own. I'm thinking green giant and green Zebra and maybe a third variety for more sweetness.

I'll see what works in August when I have tomatoes :-)

I like clove and hot pepper in ketchup.
Tarragon in chicken and dumplings.

Sounds interesting.

I agree catsup needs clove, that and tomato are what makes it catsup (although I have used mushrooms instead of tomatoes before).

Getting tarragon to work with tomatoes is probably going to require the right kind of tomato and I'm not sure the result will be something that can be called catchup. But I always have extras of greens because people seem reluctant to try greens even if they get used to the idea that it doesn't have to be red to be ripe or taste good. Any way you can get people to try a new tomato is progress though. :-)
