Homemade ketchup
A great Grandmother classic, ketchup made with pears, peaches, red, yellow and orange peppers and Italian Roma tomatoes, which we roasted in the oven before cutting in pieces. Vegetables and fruits were also roasted in the oven before being added to the pot. This technic enhances all aromas of the dish, suggested by John.
