HOMEMADE KETCHUP

My quick and easy version is super tasty and will go perfectly with your veggie burgers and chips. Also great as a dip for crisps and crudités. I used this sauce with the yam burgers I made yesterday and it complemented it perfectly! 


Ingredients
(makes 2 cups)
- 4 large tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup water
- 6 tbsp rice wine vinegar / apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp ground black pepper
- pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp corn flour

Blend the tomatoes, bell pepper and water until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Boil for about 5 minutes on high heat then turn the heat down completely and allow to simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes. 

Dissolve the cornflour in a little hot water. Add to the sauce and stir well. Bring to the boil again, stirring continuously until the sauce starts to thicken.

Allow to cool before serving. 
Store in a glass jar to maintain the freshness. Keep refrigerated and use within a week.

  3. Can I use white granulated sugar instead of brown sugar and white vinegar instead of rice wine/ apple cider vinegar? Thank you.
