Do you spell this ketchup or catsup?
Here in the south it’s ketchup. Who says “CATS-UP”?
Um, that would be nobody. That I know of, anyway.
It’s “ketch-up”.
We put it on french fries, burgers, hot dogs and butterbeans. Yes, butterbeans. I said it. Ok, fine that’s just me, but we do NOT put it on eggs. That, my friends, is nasty. Oh, but I do mix it with mayo to dip fries in. Only when I eat cheeseburgers, though. I know, quirky.
I’m gonna share this fantastic spin on ketchup I made (summer-style with fresh peaches, BTW), but first let me fill you in on a giveaway I have coming up. It’s pretty awesome.
International Can It Forward day, a live event hosted by Bravo’s Top Chef Hugh Acheson in Brooklyn, NY is August 16th. Jarden Home Brands graciously sent me a goodie box for review and now you can win one too. Here’s the package:
- 1 case of the new limited edition Spring Green Heritage Collection Jars pint size
- 1 case of the new limited edition Spring Green Heritage Collection Jars quart size
- The Ball® Fresh Herb Keeper
- A set of the Ball® Dry Herb Jars 4-oz
- The new Ball® Frozen Herb Starters
- Ball® 5-Blade Herb Scissors
- A copy of the Blue Book Guide to Preserving.
I’m literally obsessed with the little dry herb jars. I think I may be obsessed with mason jars in general. I love the vintage green color of the jars (limited edition, BTW).
I made a batch of Jalapeno Peach Ketchup and used my pretty new jars. It’s different, but different in a good way.
Ingredients
- 3 peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 jalapeno, chopped
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
Instructions
- Throw everything in your food processor (or blender) and puree until smooth. Adjust seasonings according to taste.

Sometimes you gotta step outside of that tomato box!

August 16, 2014 at 1:34 PMI, too, am obsessed w/mason jars! I use them for all kinds of things. Drinks, quick pickled veges, pickled creamy cucumbers, making and storing salads and salad dressings, marinades, I use them for all kinds of things! So, this would enable my obsession even more ;-).

August 15, 2014 at 3:05 PMI’ve heard awesome things about keeping salads/lettuce in jars…I think I’d try that. Apparently it keeps the salad fresh for a long time.

August 13, 2014 at 4:47 PMI love anything jalapeño and can’t wait to try this! But where is the jalapeño? Do you use chipotle chili powder?

August 13, 2014 at 5:09 PMKyle, thank you so much for pointing that out!! How could I leave that ingredient out of the recipe – it’s there now. I should be ashamed.

August 13, 2014 at 7:39 PMDon’t be ashamed, Shea. I am guilty of drunk-blogging too. 🙂
