Did you know that tomatoes are native to the Americas? It's hard to imagine Italian food without tomatoes, Irish cooking without potatoes or Asian cuisine without peppers (also native to the Americas). That was all once the case. Not only that but garlic was treated primarily as medicine in the western world until the 1800s when it became increasingly popular in cuisine. Pepper sauce in the early 1800s was usually made with a kind of pepper called the bird pepper. Bird peppers are hotter than a habanero! Tomata Ketchup (The Cook's Dictionary, and House-keeper's Directory 1830) 3 pounds of red tomatoes 2.4 cups of chili vinegar. This can either be the vinegar that chilies are preserved in OR a simple hot sauce (vinegar, chilies, salt). If using hot sauce I recommend the Louisiana Hot Sauce brand as it maintains it's flavor when cooked. If this seems to be too spicy for your liking add only 0.5 cups of hot sauce instead of 2.4 2 tablespoons of diced shallots 1 tablespoon of diced garlic A pinch of salt A pinch of white pepper 3 lemons Wash the tomatoes then place them in an earthen jar. Cover them and bake them at 400 degrees for 1-2 hours, or until the skin is shriveled and wrinkled. Carefully pour out the tomatoes onto a sieve and mash them through. Pour the juice into a cooking pot then add your chili vinegar/hot sauce, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Pour out over a sieve again and mash the softened garlic & shallots through the sieve. To the juice add the juice of 3 lemons. Boil it again till it is reduced to a cream that resembles the thickness of modern ketchup. This can take roughly 20 minutes on medium heat. Be sure to stir frequently. Once thickened remove from your heat & allow to cool. Enjoy!

Hi Justine. Can I use Tabasco sauce? It's a little spicier. But that's what I have. Thank you for Recipe.

[@EarlyAmerican]

@@mayalimon0929 If that is your favorite hot sauce then go for it!

[@Josephinekhalaf]

❤❤❤ I love love 💕 Mish Mish such a beautiful 🐈‍⬛ I have six cats and a small dog 🐶 … I’m in California n this heat is yucky 🤢 I can’t wait for Fall 🍁 n Winter my two fav seasons. Love you guys n your videos are always a blast ❤to watch. Oh ya how is your new home coming along? May our lord Jesus Christ always be with you both n your families 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@EarlyAmerican]

@@Josephinekhalaf It's coming along thank you for asking.

[@nrgltwrkr2225]

The only caution I would add is to make sure you do NOT cook tomatoes in aluminum, copper or cast iron (unless the cast iron is REALLY well-seasoned) as the tomatoes will react with the metals and leach into your tomato sauce, causing a change in taste and even toxicity. Tin-lined cookware or Crockery are better for this food.

[@kenc9236]

I have some Irish in me and when that fiddle starts playing gets me. Awesome channel guys and congratulation on your wedding.

[@caroleleelocklear4090]

The tomatoes look wonderful! Mish Mish will be made an official gardener!! I know the fire in the kitchen was a nessessity but you must be sweating you butt off!! Hats off to the spicy ketchup!!🎉🎉

[@tamahola]

Never thought i’d find videos like this entertaining and soothing but here we are. This is amazing!

[@LakesRegionFarm]

These videos are so easy to get sucked into

[@lisam7454]

Your tomatoes have taken on a life of their own. I love them!

[@tryingnottotourist2588]

Cooking over the fire in this heat shows major dedication!

[@gloriagomez2327]

Hello from small town rural Ohio from the northwest part of the state. That’s seems like a lot of work to make ketchup. We’re so lucky just to walk into our local grocery store to pick up a bottle. Sometimes we take a lot things for granted when back in the 1880’s, we did not have that luxury. Everything had to be literally made from scratch ! And in this unbearable heat stooping over a hearth, wow !!! I’m glad I have my air conditioning home !!!! 😅

[@tlrice72]

Wow! Looks great. Seems like an easy receipt!!

Justine, this video was so peaceful to watch. The tomatoes were beautiful and you inspired me to try this with my tomatoes on Sunday! Have a blessed weekend🙏🏼❤️

[@maxibradshaw]

Hello from Southwestern Indiana ❤️

[@sjtom57]

Very funny ending even though water merely spreads the heat. You really need milk or better yet an ice-cold cream sickle.

[@diamondlou1]

Or wine. 😃

[@Floridafanatic28]

Bread. Bread helps to absorb the spicy heat of the hot sauce rather than any cold liquid.

[@matthewcole4753]

There's a great scene from 1944's Meet Me in St Louis starring Judy Garland, at the very beginning, where the house cook is making ketchup. The family members each taste the homemade ketchup and state what they think about it. "Too sweet, too sour, not enough flavor." Heinz probably was available in dry goods stores, but they still chose to make it homemade. Edit: the movie is set in 1904.

[@Attirbful]

Doris Day makes tons of ketchup in a movie, too. Is it the one in which she is Beverly Boyer?!

[@gr8flyerfan]

Yes! Such a great scene! One of my favorite movies!

[@loririnaldi3408]

I was thinking of that sceneas I watched this one! Love that film!

This video has perfect timing. I was just canning tomatoes the other day and plan to do more this weekend.

Really enjoy the vlogs you post. I’m a pretty keen cook and I find them inspiring also what a beautiful location.

[@teresalawson3732]

I love your videos! I just found you and have binge watched. You are very patient and calm while cooking which makes watching a pleasant time. My only wish (and you may address this somewhere), wish (personal opinion only) not criticism, is that you would do a voice over with the receipt. I tend to do other things while watching videos so I miss instructions (I know the receipts at the end) and I do know that there are people who have some difficulty reading while watching (ADD). Opinion comment done. More importantly, You give history in a way that is so concrete by showing and not just reading from a book. You set the stage with your re-enactment through clothes and the cabin. You keep it period oriented. I’m impressed with cooking in a fireplace. I can’t imagine that is easy at all. Well, gotta go…I have more catching up to do. Thank you so much for what you do. I hope homeschoolers out there use these videos and those from the other channel. Be well.

[@thewintergardener2873]

This was great.... I am sure the folks back then enjoyed their condiments to enhance the flavor of their foods as we do today... I was aware of their use of Ketchup, spices, and also they liked Vinegar a lot --- but there really isn't much I've seen regarding what else they might have had as staple sauces they dashed on their meals....

[@jasonruth598]

I love this channel! Please more more more !!

[@kathynorris2371]

Thanks for sharing!

[@deloriswilliams2313]

Watching you cook made me think about Thanksgiving. So much cooking over open fire and or wood cook stove, but the food was excellent. Love watching your meals and dishes. Thanks

[@hippyelise1]

You are so funny and natural! Great video ❤

[@BobbieNatividad]

My great-grandmother she made chili sauce I was so glad it was my old boy but you could put it on everything. Maybe there's a recipe for chili sauce thank you Justin❤

[@Karl.Jayce-DE]

This reminds me of mornings and summer days with my grandma. She used to make homemade tomato sauce and ketchup🍅♡

[@KariSuttle]

1:15 - Yeah I was wondering about that when you put the date up as 1830. Cause I know the Victorians thought tomatoes were poisonous but it was really the lead in the plates they were eating off of. I didn't know they wouldn't eat garlic either, albeit cause it was thought of as medicine.

[@AmarRannaghor96]

Very nice recipe❤❤❤

I have the exact same cat. He was a stray I fed all winter and finally he became my buddy. Bruce is a good boy

I really appreciate these videos because it goes to show how much work it takes to make a bottle of ketchup

[@BobbiVMunroe]

Goei more ..van Suid Afrika. Baie maklike. Mooi mooi. 🥰👍

[@jimf1964]

When I saw that whole bottle getting dumped in, I wondered what the heck you were doing. 😀. There are so many kinds of hot sauce with different amounts of heat. I’ve made the mistake several times, of adding too much to something that is being greatly reduced. It seems so little at the beginning, but you have to remember the final volume. Still, you inspired me to make a tomato ketchup this fall. I made a mushroom ketchup from the recipe on Townsends channel. Super awesome.

[@myraarquitt9123]

😂your expression was hysterical. This is a good video. Mish in the flowers, so precious. 😊

[@richjdnz]

Fabulous episode as always. I made tomato jam for the first time this last summer. I am a city dweller with limited outdoor space but I was gifted a huge amount of fresh country grown tomatoes by a work colleague, and I was just thrilled. But what a process! Even with modern day tools, it took me days to make and 'can' the tomato jam. I can only imagine how daunting this sauce making must have been, 200+ years ago.

[@villagecountrylife]

Hi 👋🏻 u are amazing 🧡 I enjoy watching your video 👍 good job 👌🏻

love your videos and been watching for years but just wanted to say I personally prefer quieter music or none at all. I listen to these for the calming sounds and the music is a bit much for sound equalization!

Sorry about that! We are currently reuploading it. When it was uploaded YT skipped a beat and removed 2 minutes of audio for some reason. It will be up again (fixed) by tomorrow. Thank you for your patience. ❤Apparently other channels are having this issue today.

As a spicy food lover, this looks amazing!!! I want to try it :)

[@J3rs3y_G1rl]

😂 I can't help laughing at your reaction to how spicy it is given the fact you knew you were adding hot sauce! Were they really surprised back then that hot sauce was spicy? 😅

[@Losttoanyreason]

Yeah!!! A new video! When you poured that whole bottle of hotsauce into the catsup I said to myself too hot for me🤣. Obviously you are a mega capsaicin fan😁. This is oldest tomato catsup recipe I have seen. I knew about one of it's predecessors mushroom catsup from the 1700s from Townsends channel.

[@raethibodeau9604]

I bought a bottle of catsup years ago when I was in Williamsburg VA. I remember I didn't like it. I wonder if they used the same recipe. Cute video with your reaction and the cat.

Well, Justine, your facial expression told me everything I need to know, that receipt is too spicy for me. But, if I could make my own ketchup without chili peppers, I would definitely want to try. And loved seeing MishMish showing us his stalking skills.

[@lukasmadrid1945]

4:20 ngl for a second thought you were going for the gun 😅

[@MarieBra]

Here in Germany we have spice curry ketchup (Gewürzketchup mit Curry). I guess you can also make it on your own. Just by adding some curry to your selfmade ketchup. Probably a bit healthier than the bought one. You just have to hit the thick consistency.
