Blackberry Ketchup (Catsup) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 cups fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained
1 3/4 cups red wine vinegar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

In a large pan, stir berries often over medium heat until they get juicy and begin to fall apart (10 minutes). Using a fine strainer, rub berries and juice into a bowl (discard seeds).
Put berries back into original pan and stir in all other ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer gently, uncovered and stirring often, until reduced to 2 1/2 cups (about 1 hour).
Cool ketchup (catsup) and serve, or chill air-tight for up to 2-weeks (freeze to store longer). Makes 2 1/2 cups.
