Ladle into sterilized jars and seal immediately OR place in smallcontainers and freeze.I'm gonna make ketchup tomorrow, and I was looking back through the ketchup recipes. The BTVC one said this (above) after the recipe. Why are the sterilized jars important? How long will ketchup keep in the fridge? Any other tips? THanks!

Well, I don't sterilize my mason jars but I do wash them in scorching hot soapy water. I make tons of ketchup on a regular basis and use it up fast so the likelihood of anything nasty growing is small. 3 little boys will chug through a quadruple batch of ketchup in no time flat.

That said...with the boiling for hours, the honey, the vinegar and the salt...ketchup, even SCD versions, is pretty preserved. It will keep for weeks if you only stick very clean spoons into it.Don't forget the splatter screen or your mom's kitchen will be speckled and you will get ketchup/lava burns!

THanks!

Sterilized jars are important because you start out with hot (sterilized)

tomato stuff and put them into sterilized jars, thus no initial bacterial

load. If you are careful, and use a clean spoon or spreader for dipping

some out each time, it can last several weeks in the

refrigerator.

Doesn't that recipe call for vinegar?

Vinegar suppresses the spread of bacteria,

same as it does in homemade mayonnaise.

Yes, it does, and yes it will -- but some people are more paranoid than

others.

I don't generally use other than sparkling clean jars for things... but

what I said was the reasoning behind " sterile jars. "

I do, however, try not to lick my spoon and then stick it back in the

mayonnaise.... <g>

Yep.

As a matter of fact, I've started using ACV in mayo instead of white

vinegar + honey. Gives a slightly sweeter taste to the mayo (great if

you're making coleslaw) and no honey...

You guessed right, I am no cook whatsoever! I only cook the simplest of simplest without any ideas whatsoever and my kids are sick and tired of me or it, whichever, it does not make a difference. The point is that I have made successful barbecue sauce after I got a detailed, very detailed description on how to make it. But that is as far as it goes. My mayo is no good and my ketchup even worse.

So there I am not knowing how to handle things and just throwing in the towel.

I need recipes for the basics to use:

mayo, ketchup, soy sauce, duck sauce, taryaky sauce, and anything else that may work with meats and fish.

Thanks so much for offering,

PS I have all the books, BTVC, grainfree, Lucy's and the kosher one from digestive wellness, and I still cannot get around it. I tried hiring a cook, she wanted $35.00@hour! I cannot afford that.

I have a blender, a grill, a microwave, a juicer.

, I hope this isn't jumping to conclusions but I get the impression you weren't much of a cook before doing SCD? Some of your questions point me to that conclusion. If you don't mind I can give you super detailed, step by step instructions for making whatever you want. I have done it for several people on this list and I have a few friends I have taught to cook in that way. It is a weird sort of hobby of mine, I guess! Let me know if that is what you would like and we can start with ketchup and mayo, which are easy, really! you just need the right tools and technique.
