How to Make Apple Catsup Ketchup
- Peel, core, and chop 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of apples. (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
- In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples have completely softened and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Return the blended catsup to the saucepan and simmer for another 5-10 minutes to further reduce and thicken the sauce, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more brown sugar for sweetness, apple cider vinegar for tanginess, or cayenne pepper for heat.
- Once cooled completely, transfer the apple catsup to sterilized jars or bottles for storage in the refrigerator. This will last for several weeks.
