Cooking tomato, apple and pepper ketchup

My tomatoes, cut out the seal with the stalk. Cut the vegetables into small slices, throw in a thick-walled saucepan.

Apples are also thoroughly washed, core. Finely chop the fruit, add to the stewpan to the tomatoes.

Pour half a glass of boiling water, close the stewpan tightly with a lid and send to the stove, bring to a boil over high heat.

We turn on the timer for 45 minutes, reduce the gas to a minimum and you can go about your business - vegetables and fruits will be steamed without your participation.

When the ingredients are almost completely boiled, put them in a sieve and wipe thoroughly so that only unnecessary peel and seeds remain on the grid. There is pectin in the apple peel, and when there is a lot of pectin in the sauce, the sauce is thick.

The mashed puree is again transferred to the stew-pan and put on the fire.

Pour white sugar, unaltered table salt, red sweet paprika and ground cinnamon. Wigs can add 2 teaspoons or a little less, with ground cinnamon, just put 1/2 teaspoon.

Bring the sauce to a boil, boil over the smallest fire for 10 minutes without a lid. The sauce sprays a lot when boiling, so be careful.

In prepared sterilized jars, spread the boiling mass. For storage in the apartment we sterilize containers with a capacity of 500 ml for 15 minutes, with a capacity of 1 liter for 20 minutes.

Additional sterilization is not required to store tomato ketchup in the refrigerator. By the way, this sauce can be decomposed in silicone molds and frozen.
