Be warned.. I have the program on DVD where he made this and I can do a direct comparison. Which is correct? The written version is totally different from his "show and tell" in Jamie at Home."
Four onions versus one, no fennel bulb on Tv, spices are different etc. Very confusing!

If you like Heinz - this is not your type of ketchup.

This is my second time making this recipe. First time following the recipe to the t. Used campari tomatoes from my garden and canned for the second portion as recommended. Came out sweet and a bit like ketchup meets HP sauce. Second time made with Pink Ladies and Yellow Pears and is currently canning. Pre-cool taste was great! Lovely orange color too! I did modify this a bit and instead of ginger - I added horseradish.

Things to consider - the consistancy is not like heinz's gel like consistancy. If you can get over this - its worth it to make double batches. Single batch... way too much work for too little sauce.

I've gone 'round three times with this recipe in the last month. Fantastic! Two recipes were using my own Black Crim, Mr. Stripey and Rainbow heirlooms, and my own sweet and Thai basil. Second attempt, used some other herbage from my garden as well (house made herbes de Provence. So good with fresh chips, a meat pie or bridies...on a lamb burger??? Bob's your uncle, all right. Add a good pinch or two of favourite curry powder or garam masala and it blows HP Curry sauce away! My 81 year old mother in law bougt a peck of romas last week and asked me to be her sous, knocked out about 8 pints of 'ketchup' and processed it to enjoy all winter. Cheers Jamie! Spot on!!

I doubled the recipe since I wanted to possibly give this as a gift, but it was still not worth the effort all in all. Tastes like a thick, spicy barbecue sauce but like Jamie says, Heinz is just fine. I'd give it a four for taste, but a two for technique/effort.

I made my first batch of Jamie Oliver' s Tomato Ketchup in August 2008 using fresh Heirloom Tomatoes and all of the other vegetables straight from good Farmer's markets. The tomatoes and vegetable come together to make a smooth, complex sauce that has exceptional tomato flavor with the accompanying kick of fennel, red chili pepper, and fresh ginger. The sauce is fabulous on hamburgers seasoned with a seasoning like Emeril's Essence. I, also, like it with crudites and as a pizza sauce for a vegetable pizza with fresh mozzarella and shavings of Parmagiano Reggiano cheese. This is quick way to make an outstanding spicy veggie pizza. Try making Jamie's Homemade Ketchup. You will get a versatile addition to your cupboard.
