Cookie's Corner ~ In which we find out that ketchup isn't that hard to make for ourselves!!!

Hippy Thors Day Loverlies !!!

Yeap ok I am behind again ... it's ok I know you can cope. This week has been extremely hectic and due to this I have fallen asleep twice in the middle of Blog prepping. So BIG apologises but I am catching up now.

In fact I'm glad I waited until today for this one, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted a burger for dinner and I wouldn't have found out we had no ketchup !!!

Disaster I know !!! Burgers and no ketchup is not on its blasphemous in the very extreme!!! So I had to set about figuring out my own recipe with what we had and I tell you what I'm not sure I shall be buying ketchup ever again!!!! This is LUSH!!!! even if I do say so myself.

So here we go :~

Pixie's Emergency Tomato Ketchup

1 tin of chopped tomatoes
2 medium onions, chopped finely
1/2 cup soft brown sugar, tightly packed
1/2 cup brown vinegar
2 cloves
1 tspn Nigella Seeds
1 tspn Fajita seasoning

1. Put your all your ingredients together in a saucepan and mix well.

2. Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for 5 minutes before using a hand blender to blitz into a sauce.

3. Simmer for another 20 mins
4. Pour into sterilised bottles.
(And yes to those of you clever enough to spot it that is my loverly funnel i made after making the shovels from milk bottles)

5. Take a moment and realise that you made double what is in most botles of tomato ketchup, you know what is in it and it cost you less than 70p
Yeap so there you go yummy ketchup that passed the taste test of Himself. It relly puts a massive smile on my face to see him like being my guinea pig hahaha !!!
