Fresh Tomato Ketchup
Makes about 1-1/2 cups
Total Time: 1-1/2 hours, plus 12 hours chilling time
"The best part was watching the tomatoes pop. The hardest was using the strainer" – Brooke, 11
This ketchup recipe takes everything we love about this condiment and gets there with fresh tomatoes and traditional flavorings such as vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, and allspice. Homemade ketchup has even more tomato flavor than store-bought, making this ketchup extra delicious!
Prepare Ingredients
You can use cherry tomatoes instead of the grape tomatoes, but because they are juicier, you will need to cook them a little longer. In step 3, increase the cooking time to 12 to 15 minutes.
Needed Equipment:
- 12-inch nonstick skillet
- Rubber Spatula
- Blender
- Dish Towel
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Medium bowl
- Jar with tight-fitting lid
- 2-1/4 pounds grape tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Pinch ground allspice

"It was the best ketchup I have ever tasted. I loved it." -- Kallie, 12
- 1. Add all ingredients to 12-inch nonstick skillet. Use rubber spatula to stir to combine.
- 2. Bring tomato mixture to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of skillet, about 20 minutes.
- 3. Reduce heat to low and cook until almost all liquid evaporates and spatula leaves distinct trail when dragged across bottom of skillet, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat. Let mixture cool 15 minutes.
- 4. Ask an adult to carefully transfer tomatoes and liquid to blender jar. Blend mixture until smooth, about 1 minute.
- 5. Set fine-mesh strainer over medium bowl. Pour tomato mixture into the strainer and use a spatula to stir and press on mixture to push liquid through strainer. Discard solids left in strainer.
- 6. Cool ketchup to room temperature and then pour ketchup into jar with tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate until chilled and thickened, at least 12 hours. (Ketchup can be refrigerated up to 1 month).

Fun Cookbook for Young Chefs
The America's Test Kitchen Complete DIY Cookbook for Young Chefs is a great cookbook to help get your child interested in cooking. The book is full of recipes that will appeal to most young audiences. Although it lacks recipes for savory meal, the book does include recipes for things that most kids would likely be interested in making such as every day staples and condiments, snacks, sweets/desserts, drinks, and DIY mixes such as pancake, sugar cookie, and brownie mixes. The recipes are easy to follow with many of the recipes included fully photographed set by set instructions. The corner of the recipes include information regarding difficulty, use of special equipment (such as knives, stovetop, oven), information regarding how many servings each recipe yields, and how long each recipe should take. I found this information very helpful in guiding my kids on which recipes they could likely complete without my help. Near the end of the book there is also information regarding nutritional value for every recipe included, for those of you who want to know just how many calories are actually included in that spoonful of homemade Nutella. While the kids noted that they would've liked to see some meal type recipes included, they were still very happy with the variety of recipes included. Overall, if you're looking to find some fun recipes that will likely interest your kids, this is a fun cookbook to consider.
