Cranberry Ketchup~ A La DiStasio~

I just LOVE that show..Friday nights my favorite activity is watching her..her guests..the gorgeous cinematography..
She's so charismatic and many of her guests are also..

On this particular episode..there were some Christmas treats..

Turkey Tourte..looked wonderful...and they suggested serving it w/ a cranberry ketchup..
I knew I would try it the next day..I had everything on hand..



It's different..it's got Madras Curry in it..and you use your hand held motor blender..




La Recette~


1 onion chopped
1/3 cup of oil

10 cups cranberries
a generous pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of Madras Curry
2 cups of Maple Syrup..

Place all ings in a pot..bring to a boil..simmer ap 30 mins until skins pop.. Use your hand blender to purée..place in sterilized jars..

My notes.. I halved the recipe..My cranberries had been frozen..they had said it would be fine..it was..it didn't take 30 mins to cook..It bacme thick enough sooner than later and they popped sooner than later..
They suggest that you can pass through a sieve if you wish..I didn't..
I did hot water bathe my pots after~


This will be served as an accompaniement to my son-in-laws fabulous Turduckken(SP?) on the table..as a condiment really..it will work for tourtière also..a turkey sandwich etc..the curry gives a nice flavor~You don't need a lot~




Hope everyone likes it..Jacques did~

  7. Oh, the color of the ketchup is just fantastic! Wow and of course your photo just makes it look like it is in the middle of a snowscape. How fun to try it on the turducken (spelling again!) I have seen that on a show but never had it. I bet it is amazing.

  19. This sounds like a great addition to a turkey sandwich which I love anytime of the year. I wish we could get TV from Canada. We are so close yet so far when it comes to programming on TV.
