How to Make My Ground Cherry Ketchup
- Finely mince 1 medium yellow onion.
- Cut 1 green bell pepper and 1 red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces.
- Combine 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a blender and blend into a fine powder.
- Peel, core, and chop 2 medium apples into 1-inch pieces.
- Gently wash and remove the husks from 2 cups of fresh ground cherries.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the minced onions, bell peppers, spice powder, apples, ground cherries, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup tomato paste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the ketchup has thickened to a syrupy consistency (approximately 30-40 minutes).
- Carefully pour the ketchup into sterilized half-pint mason jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Seal the jars tightly and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for proper sealing and shelf stability). Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
