I am still laughing, with you...been there and done that.
Ketchup is not high on my list of items to make again.
If I did, it would be in the crockpot, with the lid off or at least ajar, so the moisture would get out........LOL, that is a thought, not a tried item.
When the kids were growing up, I did not serve ketsup, as they wanted it on everything........LOL, yes, there are some things that it is required for.
About a month ago, I discovered that I was putting ranch dressing on “everything”.........it works wonders in changing or hiding the taste of things....it gave my son a laugh, as he never forgave me for depriving him of ketchup.
He did tell me that he likes good food......the kind that does not need ketchup.
Glad you found the thread, do join in and post here.
I know that at least one other is looking to canning this year and interested in canning recipes and am sure there are several others, who are doing so, now that I think of it, there are several that talked of canning.
It must be time for a ping, we have over 1900 posts, so you must have missed some of them........LOL
I pray your gardens are growing and I feel sure that you are in your minds, out there harvesting the bushels of produce.
