Let’s be honest for a second: I was never a fan of store-bought fruit ketchup. I find it lacks flavour, it always tastes the same from one brand to the next, and frankly I find it pretty underwhelming. That’s exactly why I finally built my own. I looked at a bunch of recipes, took what I liked from each one, and I absolutely wanted the apple, pear and peach trio. The result, honestly, is completely over the top. I have never tasted a fruit ketchup as good as this one.<\/p>\n
That’s where it all comes together. Most fruit ketchups lean too sweet and you end up not tasting the fruit at all, just the syrup. Mine is fruity but stays balanced, and it’s the combination of sugar and maple syrup that does it: the maple adds depth instead of just more sweetness. Add the ground coriander and dry mustard, two spices that traditional recipes leave out, and you get a much more complex flavour profile. I eat it by the spoonful, for real.<\/p>\n
This has become my new favourite recipe and I’ll be making it every year. Fruit ketchup is the quintessential end-of-summer preserve in Quebec, the one people used to make with whatever the garden had given that year, with every family having their own version. Mine goes on tourti\u00e8res and stews as tradition calls for, but I don’t hesitate for a second to pour it on a steak. Once you have a jar in the fridge, you put it on everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
