This Roasted Tomato Ketchup is a great recipe for the billions of tiny tomatoes from the garden. We have so many tomatoes, that coming up with what to do with them has been quite the challenge.
A friend recently gave me a clipping from a magazine on tiny tomatoes, I am not sure which magazine, but ketchup was one of the recipes. I made the recipe according to the instructions but found it to be too sweet. I have adjusted the recipe to have a more savory flavor with a bit of zing to it.
Of course, any tomatoes will do for the recipe; all you have to do is quarter them before roasting for the recipe to work.
