  PREP/PREPARE

  What you will need? This is a one pan recipe. Something like a 2-quart saucepan should do nicely. Just make sure that the pan is made from a non-reactive material, such as stainless steel (like All-Clad), or coated ceramics, like (Le Creuset). Materials like aluminum or cast iron will “react” to the acids in this sauce and give it a metallic taste… I HATE it when that happens.

  What to serve with it? This is a sauce, so the question is not what you serve it with, but what you serve it on. Most meats and seafood work well with this sauce. And it even works well as a cooking sauce for things like chilis and stews. Have some fun with it.

  How to store it? Because homemade sauces do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, type in “Weck Jars” and you will find a ton of them. They last forever, unless you break them, and they are very reasonable, price-wise. Sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If properly stored, this sauce should last 10 – 12 days. FYI: This sauce can be frozen, and in this case, it will last for several months.

  Homemade Ketchup Okay, this may seem like a lot of time to spend on making ketchup; however, the time spent is well worth the flavor you get on the other side. Plus, since you are making it from scratch, you can vary the ingredients to suit the occasion. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/versatile-homemade-ketchup.html?r=3 Homemade Worcestershire Looking for a good Worcestershire without anchovies, or all those chemical preservatives? It is easy/peasy to make and tastes like the real thing. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/diy-essentials-homemade-worcestershire-sauce.html?r=1
