How to Make Ancho Chile And Citrus Ketchup

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 735 minutes (approximately 12 hours), stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will become. You'll notice the sauce thickening considerably.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The ketchup will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Once cooled, blend the ketchup using an immersion blender or in a regular blender until smooth. You can leave some texture if preferred.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lime juice for extra tang or a pinch of salt for balance.
  7. Transfer to a sterilized jar or container and store in the refrigerator. This ketchup will keep for several weeks.
