Hi Karen! I just bought your book jam it,pickle it,cure it. And I love it! I made the Regular Ol Tomato Ketchup and it’s great. I heard you on the Splendid Table. I would love to make the plum ketchup. Where can I find that recipe?
Thanks for the great book!
Judy
Hiya Judy! Thanks so much for the kind words; glad you liked the ketchup. The plum ketchup recipe is actually in my other book – Can It, Bottle It, Smoke It. And, if you’re interested, in March of 2014 my new title, Asian Pickles, will have a recipe for banana ketchup as well. Woo hoo! Lots of ketchup! Happy canning…
