    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.
    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!

      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.

    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 !!!! 😅

    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.

    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.

We had dinner at the Brick House restaurant. Now my husband is visiting family and I am relaxing whilst my six year old daughter sleeps. I can see why you like St. Genevieve so much. I would have liked to be able to meet you, but no matter.

    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.

    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.

    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.
