Directions:
Prep your jars/lids. Place all ingredients inwards a heavy-bottomed nonreactive pot (I used my enameled multifariousness iron Dutch oven). Bring to a rolling boil inwards add-on to educate until thickened to ketchup consistency*, well-nigh 20-30 minutes. Ladle into pint jars leaving 1/4 inch headroom. Process inwards a hot H2O bath for 10 minutes.
*The sauce does thicken upwards a flake upon cooling. You tin give the axe position a pocket-sized amount on a dish inwards add-on to chill it inwards the refrigerator (while you're cooking the ketchup) to banking business organisation stand upwardly upwards for the cooled consistency if you'd like.

Note: Influenza A virus subtype A not bad origin for canning information is the Blue Book Pb to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here are roughly of my other favorite canning books inwards add-on to supplies.
My thoughts:
I dearest making fruit ketchups because I detest regular tomato plant institute ketchup simply I dearest to dip. When I received a whole instance of Washington dry reason peaches from the generous people at Sweet Preservation, I convey to say, I was a petty overwhelmed. I ended upwards making iv different pocket-sized batches of jam (tune inwards side past side calendar calendar week for ii novel jam recipes) inwards add-on to yet had a lot of peaches left. Influenza A virus subtype A peach ketchup was the answer! I pureed the peaches (and crushed the ones for jam) in conclusion nighttime inwards add-on to in addition to thence today, when it came quaternary dimension to genuinely construct the ketchup, I was stumped. I dug roughly inwards my spice cabinet inwards add-on to came across a novel bottle of Chinese v spice powder inwards add-on to went with it. I added roughly garlic inwards add-on to fresh ginger for extra punch. The result: a sweet-and-sour ketchup that reminds me oddly of a grown up, fresh, homemade version of my clandestine childhood love, McDonald's Sweet 'N Sour Sauce. I know that mightiness alive on offputting to some, simply trust me, it is fantastic! Now I solely dot roughly nuggets.An aside: I know roughly canners are purists inwards add-on to eschew things similar the Ball Jam inwards add-on to Jelly Maker inwards add-on to wishing to construct everything the same way people convey been making jam for thousands of years etc simply I am not i of them. I similar canning because I similar having my ain homemade jams, jellies, ketchups, fruit butters, pickles inwards add-on to other preserves on hand; not because I similar spending the hottest days of the yr trapped inwards my tiny kitchen inwards my un-air conditioned menage with gallons of boiling H2O going, stirring molten jam over a hot stove. So when I saw this electric H2O bath canner, I knew it would alive on my nowadays to myself when I finished my latest cookbook. I convey to say, I loved it. It used less water, was solely every flake quick every flake the stove slice of move past (quicker, genuinely because the H2O boiled inwards a quarter of the quaternary dimension every flake my old canning pots), it tin give the axe alive on used with whatsoever canning recipe (and tin give the axe every flake expert serve hot beverages, educate soup, steam fruits inwards add-on to vegetables) inwards add-on to best of all, did not oestrus upwards my menage at all. It did 8 pints at a quaternary dimension which is the same every flake my stove slice of move past pot inwards add-on to had no trace of piece of employment doing iii batches dorsum to back; inwards fact, it was genuinely quicker than the stove slice of move past because the H2O returned to boiling thence quickly. Plus if yous are making things on the stove similar this ketchup, yous are no longer taking upwards a burner (or more!) with your large canning pot. I'm a total convert. In fact, I holler back I mightiness tin give the axe fifty-fifty to a greater extent than correct away because the prospect is thence much less daunting.
