I Made Homemade Ketchup (Again)

[@sense2001]

I'm only two minutes in and Emily is already having existential crisis 😭

[@EmilyDuncan]

honestly could be the slogan for my mornings 😂

[@farronroboff255]

A great video that has it all! Personal growth, existentialist questions, inspirational music and even a ketchup recipe 👍🏻

[@EmilyDuncan]

Well said! 😂

[@ashe1317]

revenge is a dish best served cold, but redemption is a dish best served with ketchup. i applaud your perseverance!

[@EmilyDuncan]

this is basically poetry, thank you 😂

[@naingthakhin5656]

Emily has the comedic charm Fr

[@pretendtobenormal8064]

I'm told that fish sauce is one of those "secret weapon" type ingredients for homemade ketchup, and also that a little goes a long way.

[@EmilyDuncan]

Interesting! I believe it! I tried to stick pretty close to the script on this one since the last time went... not so well... but I think, having now successfully done it once, I'd definitely start playing around with the flavorings for the next time!

[@janet1536]

Now THAT sounds great! 😃

[@GeriatricMillennialGamerDude]

Emily made my day with that small frown while pouring her "pink tomato goop" into the pan. Good job and great concept (revisiting old video after leveling up to see progress).

[@EmilyDuncan]

😄😄😄

[@l1233799]

That's the power of a Level 2 right there 👍

[@EmilyDuncan]

heck yeah it is 🙌

[@Fidozo15]

Just watched that video where you leveled, I’m like legit so happy though! From the 4 levels of Burgers to Level 2… The character arch… OH MAN

[@defaultuser1447]

"I'm pouring my goop into the pot." That's the sort of Level 2 skill we expect!

[@daroboff]

Haha noticed the fry pile seemed conspicuously shorter by the end of the video!

[@EmilyDuncan]

You're right! So mysterious... must be locusts

[@Romi_Zii]

❤️🍅👶🏿👶🏾👶🏽👶🏼👶🏻🍅❤️ I suggest a Mouli as a future gift. Much better than Marrying Mr Darcy which is pure evil! LOL. A Mouli liquidises and removes the seeds and skin of tomatoes in one go. It’s the secret tool of the best Nonna Passata ever. It also makes the best mashed potato if you don’t have a ricer. Trying to push anything through a tamis or fine sieve other than flour is the way to insanity! 😂 💗❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎

[@EmilyDuncan]

@@Romi_Zii I like that idea! Thanks for the tip :D

We have now come full circle. The student is now the master. 😊

[@0ceanicify]

I'm not saying Epicurious should make a 4 ways to make ketchup but...

[@martinschulz326]

​@@0ceanicify Level 1: Buy Heinz...

[@james.randorff]

Yes, but Rose is the Level 3 chef and Emily is the Level 4 food scientist

[@drewlawson1858]

A thought from my garden pasta sauce sessions -- if you simmer the puree until it stops foaming up and THEN sieve the result, a lot of the solids become liquids. All you have left to remove are the seeds and a little skin. Plus you get the umami from the "goo" around the seeds. And, hail to the Ketchup Queen!

[@EmilyDuncan]

Hmm ok I’ll try it next time!!

[@defaultuser1447]

Good ol' KZbin. They notify me about the live stream 9 days in advance, but wait 9 days to notify me about this. Thanks algorithm!

[@EmilyDuncan]

😂🤦‍♀️ the algorithm, she is truly a mystery

[@kellebelle]

Emily, I know your pain! I've made ketchup before. I went through a summer when I decided I was going to try making my own condiments. Things I am great at: pickles, relishes, chutneys, mayonnaise, and even mustard. Things that are hard to replicate: ketchup. An entire summer testing recipes and tweaking ingredients for the perfect umami balance. I ended up back with government ketchup. I hope you have better luck than I did!

[@EmilyDuncan]

Hahah it’s very tricky!! I’m glad to hear it’s not just me struggling. Good on you for learning to make all those other things!!

[@tartret5115]

"You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the ketchup, not join them.

[@EmilyDuncan]

omg ahaha this is a very good comment

[@kylehead2449]

This looks like it will really elevate tomorrow's french toast #iykyk

[@dianahellman9254]

Woohoo! It looks pretty good. I bet you could add some tomato paste to make it a bit thicker, if you wanted. Way to go for sticking with it. Seems like now that you have a process that works, you can tweak the seasonings to make it the "Emily Special"!

[@EmilyDuncan]

My thoughts exactly on the flavorings! And I stubbornly wanted to do this without any premade tomato products, but you’d be right that using premade paste would probably make a positive difference 😂

[@dianahellman9254]

@@EmilyDuncan Probably worth doing once from scratch, but in the future, canned tomatoes and tomato paste are actually fantastic products. BTW, food mills are terrific tools for doing the puree/remove seeds and skins thing from tomatoes, but maybe not very NYC-sized-kitchen friendly.

[@TheDavidN]

You have truly Leveled Up!

[@continuousself-improvement1879]

Leveling up from this would probably be Emily doing a corporate takeover of Heinz and buy a small country, thereby crowning herself an actual Ketchup Queen. 😂

[@joshuajohnson2216]

It's simple........ approved 👍

[@lavishlyDecorated]

Hooray!

[@Kriedd77]

Looks good !

[@Paul-ie1xp]

I wouldn't skimp on the vinegar... That said, it looks like Ketchup, and a way easier to follow recipie than most on KZbin.

[@EmilyDuncan]

It’s definitely doable! Going to keep finessing the balance of flavors, but that also comes down to personal taste. I overshot the sugar so I added a little more vinegar and ended up finding my final result a little overly tart and overly sweet (I mean, still pretty good in the grand scheme of things, but I felt like I lost out on some of the tomato flavor). Would probably also benefit from better ripe summer tomatoes instead of sad grocery store winter tomatoes, haha, but we work with what we’ve got!

[@curling83]

👍👍

[@user-neo71665]

I think the vingar and sugar in it is gonna depend on what tomatoes you use along with the quality of them. This isn't really the time of year to find good tomatoes. Most of what you find are greenhouse grown and normally bland.

[@EmilyDuncan]

Yeah, I read a thing that said winter tomatoes were actually fine for ketchup, but would love to try it again with a more flavorful bunch 🍅

[@defaultuser1447]

@@EmilyDuncan I have pretty good luck with the Roma tomatoes at the supermarket this time of year. I use them for salads and cooking when I need a fresh tomato.

[@karilovin1867]

i’m down to make my own!

[@EmilyDuncan]

I recommend it! Even if it’s only as good as what you get at the grocery store, you learn a lot haha. Just start small with the flavorings then taste and build til you like it!

[@nishantjoshi1027]

The ketchup queen!

Working hard to be a better, more magnanimous and effective ketchup ruler

[@nishantjoshi1027]

@@EmilyDuncan i am here for it!!

[@lindafreeman7030]

TRUST THE PROCESS! (Also, trust the food processor.) I was surprised the recipe wanted you to add additional water to such juicy beasts as tomatoes, but maybe that was to help you get it through the strainer.

@@EmilyDuncan I was reading comments off of your boneless chicken wings video, cause what's best about Epicurious video's "Their Comments". Saw your comment and I thought this ketchup girl I saw 2 years ago has her own yt channel and now is a lvl 2 chef. Awesome. Congrats btw...

[@RavenclawNimbus]

Ahhhh I remember the good old days of Emily eating French toast with ketchup 😌

[@xpyr]

An easy way to get the skin off of tomatoes is to blanche them. You put them in boiling water for 15 seconds and then the skin should come off. Then use an immersion blender with some water to blend them up. Then add the rest of the ingredients.

[@EmilyDuncan]

But the seeds! And I have tried that with pepper skins and struggled, tbh. Next skill to master, maybe

[@MrCillaKam]

This is peak beginner emily, Making her own ketchup. All seriousness glad to see you still cooking and growing. You even did the whole mis en place so you are clearly at that level 2 status these days.

[@EmilyDuncan]

Definitely making progress!
