Recipe Description:
Ketchup, catsup… however you spell it, my kids adore it. The fact that I’m even messing with this sacred food (yes food, not condiment) of theirs is quite risky. I’ve tried three recipes. One was “too spicy,” one was “too lacto-fermenty,” they weren’t puréed enough… I’m competing with Trader Joe’s organic ketchup here. You’d think a homemade version would be a definite upgrade, but not according to my kids. Since I haven’t been able to exactly replicate their ketchup, I resigned to calling this homemade version (this recipe is as close as I could get to Trader’s) “red sauce” or “red dip.” Whichever name will most delight the eater is the name I use.
