The creation of ketchup

Einar, who was looking at some glass jars, smiled because he knew it was the ketchup he had prepared.

To make it, he had boiled chopped tomato without seeds, onion, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves in a steel pot.

These ingredients had been boiled for half an hour until completely soft.

Once they were ready, Einar removed the cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves from the pot.

To be able to place sugar, honey, vinegar, salt, and some peeled garlic cloves in the mixture.

When everything was combined, he used a wooden tool with which he began to crush all the ingredients.

After a while of squeezing all the mixture until it is completely integrated, he put it in using a strainer.

The result, a very watery red liquid, was placed back in a steel pot where it began to boil for a while until the water evaporated to leave a thick and good-smelling mixture.
