Cranberry Ketchup ~ Holiday Canning ~ Christmas Gifting

Is it ketchup or catsup?... Either way it is delicious! Add a holiday twist to a pantry staple. Add to meatloaf or sloppy joes; dip fries (amazing with sweet potato fries), chicken nuggets or egg rolls; or stir into BBQ sauce for some holiday flare. Great for gifting :)

11 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
2 cups chopped onions
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups water
3 cups lightly packed brown sugar
1 cup vinegar
2-3 tsp dry mustard
1/4-1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2-3 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Ladle hot sauce into hot jars leaving 1/2" headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim. Center lid and apply band to fingertip tight.

Process for 15 minutes in boiling water or steam canner, adjusting for altitude as follows:
1,001-3,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 5 minutes
3,001-6,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 10 minutes
6,001-8,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 15 minutes
8,001-10,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 20 minutes

Allow jars to rest undisturbed for 12 hours. Remove bands, check seals, wash and label jars. Store in a cool dark place.

This tutorial is for informational purposes only. It is your responsibility to follow all instructions for your canner and water bath/steam canning. Always adhere to safe canning guidelines.

I use Ball jars, lids and accessories.

Canner I use: VICTORIO VKP1130

Enjoy!
