Sriracha Ketchup - Scratch Canning Recipe

Pin It Now!

OH BOY Sriracha!!!

But this isn't just any squirt and chow down Sriracha, this turns the magical Red Rooster sauce into a whole new condiment!

I made this a little chunky with minced onions.  If you are looking for a smooth ketchup, feel free to use a wand mixer or blender to get the smooth look.  I also like the rustic look of the ketchup that this un-blended sauce has.

The recipe (keep scrolling down, you'll see it) is for 6-7 cups of ketchup, so I "Canned" them with a water bath.  That's crafty talk for I put the sauce in a jar and then let them boil away in a big pot for about 20 minutes.  Once canned that ketchup will last for at least a year without being refrigerated.

If this sounds too complicated (it;s not), feel free to reduce the recipe by 1/4 of each ingredient.  You will have a little over a cup and a half.  Plenty for a party or personal use... Long as you use the sauce within a month.  Refrigerate in a sealed jar.

As to the Ketchup...

What can I say about Sriracha sauce... LOVE IT!

That special mix of heat and hints of Asian flavors (although it is a California invention... but I digress) that makes that familiar Red Rooster label famous.  The ketchup recipe adds little hints of tangy vinegar, extra Earthy Garlic flavors, Sweet to pair with the heat with added Honey and finally gets that deep dark color with the addition of full of flavor Worcestershire Sauce!

And if you come back tomorrow I'll give you a recipe for Meat Loaf LOADED with this ketchup as a binding sauce throughout (not just baked on the top).

That Meat Loaf and a slather of this Ketchup makes a heck of a Sandwich!

ENJOY!
