Time 2h50m

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Anaheim chile pepper
6 cups tomato juice, or more to taste
5 peppers shishito peppers
2 medium jalapeno peppers
4 peppers serrano peppers
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, with leaves, chopped
1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place Anaheim pepper onto the prepared baking sheet.
Cook, turning occasionally, under the preheated broiler until the skin of the pepper has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened pepper into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow pepper to steam as it cools, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skin.
Heat tomato sauce in a pot until simmering.
Meanwhile, remove seeds from Anaheim pepper, shishito peppers, and jalapeno peppers. Chop and place in a bowl. Chop serrano peppers, leaving seeds, and add to the bowl.
Add peppers to the simmering tomato juice, along with onion and celery. Simmer for 1 hour.
Add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, cinnamon, salt, cloves, allspice, and salt. Simmer for 1 more hour, or until desired thickness. Puree ketchup with an immersion blender until smooth.
Pour into sterilized jars or squeeze bottles.
