Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients. Peel and wash the apples and vegetables thoroughly under running water. It is better to choose meaty tomatoes to reduce the cooking time.
Step 2
Cut the tomatoes into large wedges.
Step 3
Remove the core from the apples and cut them into large wedges as well.
Step 4
Place the tomatoes and apples into a pot where the ketchup will be cooked. Add the coarsely chopped onion and peeled garlic to the pot.
Step 5
Cut the chili pepper into strips and add it to the pot with the vegetables. You can adjust the amount of chili pepper depending on how spicy you want the ketchup to be.
Step 6
Cut the bell pepper into large squares or wedges and add it to the pot with the vegetables.
Step 7
Place the pot on the heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 1.5 hours with the lid off, stirring occasionally to prevent the vegetables from burning.
Step 8
Cook the vegetables with the apples until fully tender.
Step 9
Using a ladle, puree everything through a fine sieve.
Step 10
Wash 0.5-liter jars (about 5 pieces) and sterilize each for 5 minutes using a convenient method.
Step 11
Add 300 grams of sugar, 1 tablespoon of salt, cloves (8 pieces), bay leaves (8 pieces), and ground coriander (1 teaspoon) to the pureed mixture. Place the pot on the heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 12
Five minutes before removing from heat, fish out the bay leaves and cloves with a slotted spoon or ladle and pour 100 ml of vinegar into the pot.
Step 13
Pour the hot ketchup into the jars. Seal with metal lids. Invert the jars to ensure they are well sealed.
Step 14
Cool the ketchup at room temperature. Store in a cool place.
