Again the riddle was too easy.
The first answer was right. Okay Sus guessed BBQ-Sauce. I consider ketchup as BBQ-sauce, too. Congrats to Sus from Corumblog.
Foodies riddle #4 will be online in 2 weeks on Monday, June 9. Stay tuned! If you have any suggestion for a future riddle just drop me a line: kochtopf(at)gmail(dot)com.

For this ketchup I used preserved tomatoes and dried chili, both homemade. I can’t wait to harvest fresh tomatoes, then I will make the ketchup again with fresh ones. The recipe comes from Alfons Schuhbeck a German chef, who has also his own cooking show.
Coincidentally Stiftung Warentest published yesterday the result of a test of ketchups. They tested 23 ketchups among them name- and no-name-brand products. A no-name ketchup is the winner. ;-)
Did you know that one German statistically eats 1 liter of ketchup a year, and that Heinz ketchup contains 25,5 gram sugar per 100 g ketchup. In fact, I compared my ketchup with Heinz, and mine was less sweet in taste and much more hot!
Homemade Hot!!! Ketchup

1 onion, finely chopped
750 g tomtoes, peeled and cut into chunks
25 g tomato purée
20 g brown sugar
2 cm cinnamon

In the meantime, sieve icing sugar in a pan and melt on medium heat until caramelized. Remove from heat and add vinegar, move to the heat again and let reduce to half.
Mix ketchup with a blender add „vinegar reduction“, salt and pepper if necessary add some vinegar. Pour into hot sterilized jars or bottles.

This is also my first contribution to the monthly kochtopf event, this month hosted by lavaterra.
Wonderful! I love homemade ketchup! Your dish makes me drool…
Cheers,

Oh … thank you! Well, it was easy only because I had made (nearly) the same sauce the weekend before. I mistook your mustard seed for coriander seed, which I used. And I used some garlic, too. Your version of caramelizing the sugar sounds interesting, though.
How long does your ketchup keep?
Liebe Grüße, Sus

Haltbar meinst du? I think it can be stored for some months. My preserved tomatoes I can store for one year without any problem, but you need to use sterilized jars.
Ich fands im Fall wieder mal ganz und gar nicht easy. Daran, dass man Ketchup auch selber machen könnte, habe ich noch nie gedacht. Das wäre mal ein Mitbringsel an eine Grillparty.
Ist das „Puderzucker“? Ich habe mich gerade auch an Ketchup getraut und das „Top Secret Recipe for Heinz Ketchup“ probiert:

Das war nicht ganz mein Fall, so dass ich noch ein paar andere Variationen ausprobieren möchte. Deine sieht auf jeden Fall auch lecker aus :)

Ja, icing sugar ist Puderzucker. Wenn du es gerne süss magst, so wie der Heinz Ketchup ist, müsstest du bei diesem Rezept mehr Zucker nehmen.
Nach Deinem Hinweis auf die Passata rapidissima musste ich ein wenig stöbern und bin gleich fündig geworden. Dieses Rezept ist ausgedruckt und wird mit nach Griechenland genommen!
