This book came just as I was knee deep in home grown tomatoes. There is such a variety of recipes here that I had a hard time choosing one. I actually made 2 of the recipes here, Classic Ketchup A Romanian Recipe, and Evolving Spicy Ketchup. Both were excellent.If you want to make your own ketchup without excess salt, sugar and preservatives this is a book you definitely should pick up. You don't need to have fresh tomatoes but can use a variety of canned tomatoes, tomato sauce and/or tomato paste. You can also make small batches so that you don't have to worry about canning or preserving the ketchup.The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the directions for preserving the ketchup. As a person who has been canning for many years, I wouldn't trust the safety of these instructions for long term preserving.
