Before mass commercial standardization, there were so many different kinds of ketchup, and apple ketchup was one of them.

Home canning allows you to experience a glimpse of the vast variety that has been lost.

This ketchup is delicious with pork, and curries.

Some user reviews:

“I made the best sandwich with the Apple Ketchup I’ve ever eaten: ham, cheddar, mayonnaise on multigrain bread with dollops of the Apple Ketchup. Perfection.” — Douglas Williams, author. Toronto.

“I tried the apple ketchup with a ham & cheese sandwich — very tasty!” — Paula Driedger, Leamington, Ontario.

Recipe notes

  • You can just mince the onion in the food processor with the pulse button, if you like.
  • For the fresh ginger, you can just use 1 teaspoon of minced ginger from a tube. You can also use 1/4 teaspoon ground instead.
  • For additional flavouring, you may wish to try adding any or all of these: 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
