Cranberry Ketchup Recipe

This recipe was handed down to me from my mother. It may sound like a strange combination of flavors, but once you try it, you won’t want to go back to regular ketchup. —Jerome Wiese, Bemidji, Minnesota

Prep: 20 min. Cook: 1 hour + cooling

Yield: 24 Servings

20 60 80

Ingredients

1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries
1 large red onion, chopped
2 cups water
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
4 whole allspice
1/2 teaspoon mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon whole peppercorns

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, onion and water. Cook over medium heat until the berries pop, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; cover and process until smooth. Return to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 2 cups, stirring frequently.
Stir in the sugar, vinegar and salt. Place the cinnamon, allspice, mustard seed and peppercorns on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with string to form a bag. Add to the cranberry mixture. Cook and stir for 25-30 minutes or until thickened.
Discard spice bag. Cool ketchup. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Yield: 1-1/2 cups.
