I work in a greenhouse in the spring season and am always tempted beyond what I can bear! This year several varieties of tomatoes came home with me. I have been blessed with a bountiful harvest! What to do with Cherry Tomatoes coming in by the basketful... I found this recipe on the WWW and thought someone out there with my problem/blessing might enjoy this small but yummy solution.

Curried Ketchup:
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Pinch ground cloves
Put the tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, curry powder, salt, pepper and cloves into a saucepan and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar and cook until the tomatoes have broken down and the mixture is slightly thick, about 10 minutes. Pour the mix into a food processor and pulse until smooth. Let cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Place in a decorative bowl to serve.
Yield: 1 cup

This turned out to be a very sweet and sour sauce that didn't resemble Ketchup in any way but texture. I used 5 pints of cherry tomatoes, 4 teaspoons of curry (if you love curry like I do you could add even more) 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. I also added 6 cloves of garlic. Then I simmered it until it was about the texture of ketchup. I think this will make a great sauce over steamed veges and rice!

This sounds wonderful. I had a load of little yellow tomatoes, they were so tasty. But I kind of neglected my poor little garden this year. I always begin with great zeal and as the heat increases I fizzle out! I think I must be a cool weather gardener! :)
