    Fermented Ketchup

    Homemade ketchup – it sounds complicated as though you’d spend all day in the kitchen pounding your way through vats of tomatoes and slowly simmering them away in kettles on a wooden stove. But, it's actually simple: you'll mix a few ingredients together, and then let them ferment away for a few days before tucking them in the fridge.

      I love this recipe (and the accompanying photo)! I did change a few things and had great success. I was feeling a little weary about clove & allspice (just my personal taste), so I left them out. And I replaced the honey with maple syrup. It turned out super-delicious and I have found myself making excuses for why I need to put ketchup on x, y, and z. Haha! Thanks for the great recipe!
