Ketchup is an indispensable condiment for many people to cook. They also like to eat with ketchup when they eat some snacks. Tomato is rich in nutrition, which belongs to healthy vegetables. Eating more is conducive to the absorption of various nutrients. Today, I will teach you a simple way to make ketchup.
First, clean the fresh tomato and remove the green part. If you don't like the tomato skin, you can also scald the tomato quickly with boiling water, so it is easier to peel the tomato skin and won't damage the flesh of the tomato. Of course, you don't need to remove the tomato skin. It depends on your personal preference. In addition, when choosing tomatoes in the market, we should pay attention to the quality of the tomatoes. It is better to choose the tomatoes with the best quality, and the size of the tomatoes should not be too large, because too large tomato pulp is often hard, which is not conducive to making ketchup, and we should also choose the tomatoes with the ruddy color.
Then, cut the cleaned tomatoes into small pieces without cutting them too small. If the tomato peels the skin, you should be careful when you cut it, because you have to cut it into small pieces without skin protection, plus scald it with boiling water. If you are not careful, you will easily cut the tomato rotten, resulting in nutrient loss.
Next, put the cut tomato pieces into the electric rice pot prepared previously, and add some water to the electric rice pot properly. After putting small pieces of tomato into the rice cooker, you can add some ice sugar to it, or some lemon juice, or you can add nothing, depending on your taste. Then use chopsticks to mash the small pieces of tomato to make ketchup.
Next, heat the rice cooker with the tomatoes in place, until the tomatoes in the salt water bottle are cooked to a viscous state, taking care not to cook. In addition, it should be noted that during the heating process of the electric cooker, the lid must not be covered, and it is easy to cook and paste! It's best to cook and stir with a spoon.
At this point, the ketchup is ready. It's also very easy to save. Find a salt water bottle and seal it. Put the ketchup in the salt water bottle, cover it with a rubber cork and put it in the refrigerator. It can be kept for a long time. If you want to eat it, you can take out the ketchup at any time. It should be noted that the temperature of homemade ketchup is just high, and it should be cooled before being put into the refrigerator.
