Spiced Ketchup

Making ketchup from scratch allows you to control the flavor, avoid preservatives and ingredients like corn syrup, and extend tomato season. The process is surprisingly simple and the results superb.

This perfect stand-while-you-eat potluck fare combines perfumed pesto with thickly sliced tomatoes in an unconventional and heavenly sandwich. If your tomatoes are juicy, stack the sandwich on top of bread that has been cut to fit the tomato slice.

For Pesto:
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1 cup basil leaves, chopped
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts

For Sandwiches:
8 large tomatoes, cut in 1/3-inch slices
4-8 slices white sandwich bread (optional)
Salt and pepper

1. To make pesto, combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until it becomes a smooth paste.

2. To assemble sandwiches, spread a tablespoon of pesto mixture between two tomato slices to form a sandwich. If the tomatoes are drippy, set each sandwich on a slice of bread that is cut to size. Arrange on platter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Dab sandwiches with remaining pesto and a few extra nuts.

Makes 6 servings
