Apple Ketchup

This isn’t your grocery store ketchup; it’s a sweet-tart apple condiment that pairs brilliantly with roasted meats and savory dishes.

Unsweetened applesauce simmers with vinegar and a spice cabinet’s worth of ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and mustard until it thickens into a spreadable sauce.

The result tastes like fall in a jar with enough tang to cut through rich foods.

Try it with pork chops, roast chicken, or even as a glaze for meatloaf.

Kitchen Tips

• Use unsweetened applesauce so you control the final sweetness level
• Simmer over low heat and stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom
• The ketchup will thicken more as it cools, so don’t reduce it too much
• Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks in a clean jar with a tight lid
