Tamarillo ketchup

Tamarillo ketchup goes well with barbecued meat.

Ingredients

8 1⁄2 pounds tamarillo (ripe tamarilloes)
6 pounds sugar
1 1⁄2 quarts vinegar (cider vinegar)
1 tablespoon clove (ground)
1 tablespoon allspice (ground)
1 teaspoon ginger (grated)

Instructions

Wash and then blanch tamarilloes in boiling water that has been removed from heat for 4 minutes. Halve lengthwise, de-seed and coarsely chop.

Add the tamarilloes, sugar and vinegar to a large pan and bring to the boil. Simmer and cook for two hours.

Stir-in the spices, allow to cook for five minutes then ladle into warmed jars or bottles. Allow at least 1/4 inch headspace and seal the jars properly. Allow to cool then label and store.

The catsup should be allowed to mellow for a few weeks before using and unopened the jars should keep for at least a year if stored in a cool place.

Total time
2 hours, 40 minutes
Cooking time 2 hours, 10 minutes
Preparation time 30 minutes

Notes

Test for setting by placing a tablespoon onto a cool saucer. When ready the sauce will form a skin on top and will generate ridges when pushed with the finger. If not ready boil for a further fifteen minutes and test again.
