Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 12 Roma plum tomatoes, seeded and quartered
- 3 pounds huckleberries, or blueberries, strawberries, blackberries or any combination
- 2 cups dry red wine
- 1 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 oranges, zested and juiced
- 8 juniper berries
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup gin (optional)
Directions
In a large saucepan heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onions and cook until they begin to caramelize, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until they start to release some of their moisture, about 5 minutes. Add the huckleberries to the pot, reduce the heat to medium low, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except the gin, and stew over medium heat until the mixture is thick and has reduced in volume by nearly 3/4, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the gin and cook an additional 3 minutes.
Strain the ketchup into a small bowl and allow to cool before serving.
