  • 20 grams salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preparing the Vegetables
    1. Wash the tomatoes and capia peppers thoroughly.
    2. Grill the capia peppers on a well-heated grill until charred on all sides.
    3. Grill the tomatoes in the same way, ensuring they soften.
    4. Peel the tomatoes (they should come off easily after grilling).
    5. Peel and deseed the capia peppers (some seeds left behind won’t affect the taste).
  2. Cooking the Ketchup Base
    1. Soak the onions in water for a few minutes, then roughly chop them.
    2. In a large pot, heat 50 ml of oil.
    3. Add the onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly caramelized.
    4. Pour in the grilled tomatoes and peppers.
    5. Add balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, and cinnamon.
    6. Stir well and let everything simmer for about 1 hour.
  3. Blending and Straining
    1. After boiling, blend the mixture until smooth.
    2. Strain the blended ketchup through a clean strainer to remove any remaining seeds or chunks.
    3. Return the strained mixture to the pot and boil for another hour to thicken.
  4. Storing the Ketchup
    1. Pour the hot ketchup into sterilized jars.
    2. Seal the jars tightly and store them in a cool, dark place.
