I reckon... hm... Rhubarb! Edit 1:It's also pretty sweet, somewhat sour, leave the leaves off because oxalic acid isn't good for you. Edit 2: It's also technically a vegetable, which... Yeah. It's weird enough for this series I guess.
You are a damn genius. I am approaching seven decades of life and I wish your ideas would have been available for public consumption fifty years ago. You have introduced me to so many things in the last five years since I discovered your content. I have enjoyed preparing many specialty fruits, vegetables and recipes for my grandsons and it has been a rewarding experience. I only wish I could have had this reference available back in the dark ages...before the World Wide Web. Thank you for such excellent content! I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and yours!
@@hahathatsgreat2 i smashed them roughly with my mortar and pestle and i also blended about a quarter of them with some water and rosemary in my blender until smoothie consistency. Then mixed it all together with salt and onions and was ready imo in about a week.
God, to think it's already nearly Thanksgiving... this year has definitely been both the longest and shortest thus far. Thank you for making it bearable with these videos!
I've been watching your channel for a couple years. You've never released a video that wasn't educational or entertaining. Thank you for the content fruit man ❤
Shame you didn't get to try wild cranberries when you were in Estonia/Finland, they're smaller and a lot more flavorful and juicy but like a 12 on your sourness scale.
@@Jynectic Well there is cranberries ( Vaccinium oxycoccos) in Estonia and Finland too, they are cousins to the American cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) , they are smaller and they not are lingon ( Vaccinium vitis-idaea). And I only knew what it is in Finnish, karpalo .
I have binged on SEVERAL of your vids the last few days. I think you are interesting, informative, and adorable. And I must say, everything is better with cat. Except maybe food. But you know what I mean 😹
Oh, the color of that is lovely! I'll try this some time. Trader Joe's truffle catsup is my favorite and I am eager for it to come back in stock, and while I loved in Germany, I was a convert to curry catsup.
Really had us all checking the date multiple times. Lockdowns all year have made time blend together to the point I wouldn't be surprised if I completely missed one of the biggest holidays of the year
Finally made this! Excellent. I added a bit more sugar to bring it to a more ketchupy sweetness but a nice hit of tartness. Absolutely delicious, will make lots! Frozen cranberries are cheap - cue me raiding the reduced section after Thanksgiving. Absolutely will make more, and am giving a few bottles out to friends too.
I really encourage you to buy freshly harvested ripe organic cranberries to taste. My husband used to eat them by the bowlful; So fragrant and fruity when they're ripe.
I love cranberries. I snack on them raw every year when they're in season. To me, they don't taste very bitter (some people, myself included, genetically have few/weak bitter taste receptors). I'll plan to make this ketchup and share it with my family this Thanksgiving. Thanks for the great video as always!
Good things in this are Fennel, inordinate amounts of black pepper or as we are on this channel Long Pepper would be even better, Rosemary, Lemon as well as going insane to make it quite spicy. Still add all the things in the video as a base. My boyfriend has never been a fan of Ketchup but he likes this as do I and it confuses and impresses people.
i made this after watching your video. It was amazing. The family loves it and all of them were apprehensive at first. We had it with tatertots and couldn't stop dipping barbeque chicken in it either.
OH YEAH. I'm hyped. I been wanting to make my own mango ketchup ever since I watched your video on it. I'm all about ketchups now. Let's go crazy! "Mixed berry" ketchup! (it can be any three berries)
I follow TH-camrs who are cranberry farmers in WI. They eat raw cranberries dipped in caramel (that is for apples). I’ve learned from them that cranberries have 4 hollow chambers. I’m going to share this video with them.
The Southeast, or maybe just the Apalachicola River basin, has another (wild) acidic, floating bog fruit, the Ogeche lime (Nyssa ogeche, the source of the famed, never crystallizing, monofloral "tupelo honey"). Use ogeche limes instead of cranberries and tupelo honey instead of the sugar.
I made today you recipe, and it taste good. It has a little cherry taste, the natural flavor not the artificial. And it is tart, scratchy in the throat. My wife dont like it. I taste it with a piece of dark chocolate 😁.i may ad it to dark sauces.
I feel much better knowing you have feline supervision. 😹 I have 2 cats and one of them is frequently watching me from above. They need to make sure everything is on the up and up.
That looked really good. I checked and seen that you can purchase cranberry hot sauce, horseradish and cranberry mustard but didn't see ketchup. Anyway , it all sounds good and next time I go to the grocery store I'm going to see if I can find one of those. You seem like a really nice interesting person. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. Take care and God bless. :)
@Weird Explorer You should try the corozo fruit, i think it only grows in colombia but it’s got a very berry flavor and it’s very good and theres a hard seed in the middle but when cracked the white flesh inside tastes like and looks like a coconut ,
Homemade cranberry sauce is good on fresh spinach. Not vegetarian, but I never developed a taste for it on meat, but on spinach leaf salads it's perfect (thank you, deranged college diet!). I wonder if the ketchup would work on salad as well. The punchy and acidic yet sweet sauce contrasts the earthy and tender leaves quite well as long as the sugar is not over done.
Is this like flavored peanut butter ? Maybe you should do a peanut butter ketchup with ginger. What the world really needs are new ways to eat cauliflower. Non-dairy dips have been tried at farmers markets but never last. The new almond dips called "Bitchin" from Carlsbad, Calif. have gone to the moon.
On Amazon, you can buy a bottle of pure Cranberry juice. It's an experience, if you haven't done it before. Amazing juice. The bottle is black, because the Cranberries dye the plastic black.
My most common use of cranberries is in salads or in place of raisins in trail mix (which is honestly wayyyy better). Raisins are bleh, craisins are yum.
Yum. Cranberry producers should make note of this cranberry ketchup concept. +Unrelated, but.. have you ever heard of the medlar fruit? (Mespilus germanica). I did a search on youtube+forgive me if I've somehow missed it but I didn't see a video from you on it. I hadn't actually heard of it until this week. A person in Portland, OR on Craigslist offering free you-pick medlars from their tree; I've never had them+read you have to 'blett' (basically ripen to mushiness) them before they're good for eating/cooking with. There is a fair amount of info about them online, with one article I skimmed even claiming the French have called them 'cul de chien' (dog's rear end, on account of the fruit's appearance).
What else should I turn into ketchup?
I reckon... hm... Rhubarb!
Edit 1:It's also pretty sweet, somewhat sour, leave the leaves off because oxalic acid isn't good for you.
Edit 2: It's also technically a vegetable, which... Yeah. It's weird enough for this series I guess.
Like weed dude
@0 0 not cool dood
Cape Gooseberries/Goldberries, or Highbush Cranberries
I'm gonna say something that scares even me.... Cucumbers.

"It was just thanksgiving the other day" I can't tell if that means this is an old recording or just a slip XD
Yes, that was so strange that I paused the video just to check out the comments.
Either Canadian Thanksgiving or it was recorded last year.
@@deepspire lol yea, with how fast this year has been passing it threw me off just enough to be a little bit like wait what xD
I thought I was having a stroke for a moment
He could be from Canada and we have Thanksgiving in October. Shrugs
The ketchup actually looks really pretty lol! A beautiful blue toned red
from someone with a Nightshade allergy (tomatoes) thank you for sharing different ketchup recipes
The 1800s version was a savory mushroom version, Townsend at least has done a video on it.
@@absalomdraconis Man, I keep forgetting to make that Townsends ketchup! Need to get out and forage some fungi this spring!
wow I am the same
You're gonna have me putting a bunch of hipster condiments in my fridge.
Only if the bottle has a scruffy beard on it, instead of a label. 🧔🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@eldonerc2524 ...and a tiny Fedora lid
You’re a mad genius! This sounds even better than the mango ketchup, and just look at that color!
I just put a half gallon of fermented cranberry ketchup into cold storage. I also made pear ketchup this year.
I was just wondering about what it would be like make this ketchup but lacto-fermented. Did you ferment the raw cranberries whole or crushed?
@@hahathatsgreat2 i smashed them roughly with my mortar and pestle and i also blended about a quarter of them with some water and rosemary in my blender until smoothie consistency. Then mixed it all together with salt and onions and was ready imo in about a week.
me: "Who hasn't eaten a single cranberry befor--- wait a minute, neither have I."
Off to the store in the morning.
God, to think it's already nearly Thanksgiving... this year has definitely been both the longest and shortest thus far. Thank you for making it bearable with these videos!
I've been watching your channel for a couple years. You've never released a video that wasn't educational or entertaining. Thank you for the content fruit man ❤
Very happy you did a "will it ketchup" with cranberries, I made a cranberry scorpion pepper ketchup and it's one of the best sauces I've ever had.
That sounds killer! glad to hear it
That looks absolutely divine. The color is super unique and it makes loads of sense from a practical perspective. I may need to try this sometime.
I have a bag of cranberries and a vegan Field Roast in the fridge. Good recipe idea.
The CAT oh my goodness, what a little guardian angel 🌟

They weren't in season when I was there :/
@@WeirdExplorer But you found a lot of other goodies. Hrm Do you want a recipe for dessert with lingon?
You should learn how to bottle cranberry ketchup for shelf stability and sell it. I would buy one to try it!
I love cranberry/lingonberry sauce with anything!
I love how this man's brain works
Mmmm...love fresh cranberries
Oh good! You've gotten around to cranberry ketchup. I love that stuff.
Cranberry ketchup is killer on meatloaf or turkey meatloaf. Good in German rouladen too.
I have binged on SEVERAL of your vids the last few days. I think you are interesting, informative, and adorable. And I must say, everything is better with cat. Except maybe food. But you know what I mean 😹
I cant wait to try this on Thanksgiving!
Great video, I’ll have to try this out for real thanksgiving!
Oh, the color of that is lovely! I'll try this some time.
Trader Joe's truffle catsup is my favorite and I am eager for it to come back in stock, and while I loved in Germany, I was a convert to curry catsup.
I grew up on a cranberry farm and would eat cranberries by the handful as a child
Honestly I will freeze cranberries and make the sauce year-round. It's delicious.
They freeze beautifully
Really had us all checking the date multiple times. Lockdowns all year have made time blend together to the point I wouldn't be surprised if I completely missed one of the biggest holidays of the year
A ketchup episode with a bonus berry review, good job there,dingleberry.
Finally made this! Excellent. I added a bit more sugar to bring it to a more ketchupy sweetness but a nice hit of tartness. Absolutely delicious, will make lots! Frozen cranberries are cheap - cue me raiding the reduced section after Thanksgiving.
Absolutely will make more, and am giving a few bottles out to friends too.
LOL your cat is too cute. I just put the rest of my cranberries in the freezer. Now I know what I want to make with them. Thanks for the great idea.
I was just thinking this yesterday! Like I love putting cranberry sauce on my sandwiches.
I love it when your cat is in the episodes!
Oh yes I know the exact feeling! 🐱🐈 Just sitting there watching your every move!
looks like a pleasant success! yum.
You are doing a great job! Keep it up!
I did something similar and made cranberry ghost pepper hot sauce last year which was amazingly delicious

I'm a recent subscriber and a big fan of these ketchup episodes, so keep it up :)
This looks good. 👌🏾
Thank you for sharing.
1) So glad you’re gaining the recognition you deserve
2) Kind of sad we’re not a tiny niche community anymore
i made this after watching your video. It was amazing. The family loves it and all of them were apprehensive at first. We had it with tatertots and couldn't stop dipping barbeque chicken in it either.
I just cooked it up mate and it's tasty alright. It will be fun to try it more. Thank you for the passion
Omg, for a second, you made me think I had missed Thanksgiving!
You know, i have this odd feeling in a few years the grocery store is gonna have 50 types of weird ketchup.
And in 52 years they'll have cut it back down to maybe 15. Hopefully they'll still have a nice variety.
Noni ketchup will be the worst one
"i don't need to bounce it.." my internal voice was screaming for you to bounce it. 😭 how shall i live with the disappoint. 🤣
😼 alert
I may have to try this one. Thanks!
This series is so good
Looks great !
This is the best idea I've ever seen
This would probably be amazing on a venison burger or something like that... And as always, MORE KITTY!!!!!
If this is a year old video I wonder how many episodes you have in the can? That's a TH-camr's dream right there.
Cranberries make great cat toys, too!
OH YEAH. I'm hyped. I been wanting to make my own mango ketchup ever since I watched your video on it. I'm all about ketchups now. Let's go crazy! "Mixed berry" ketchup! (it can be any three berries)

I Have To Try this...
Now I need to make this! I feel like adding just a tablespoon of tomato paste could add some depth and additional sweetness.
beginning this video, i am very excited, hello cat.
That’s awesome! I’ll have to try some version of this!
Would be keen to know what your non-vegetarians friends think of that with meat, like beef or lamb. (I might have to try this receipt myself though!)
the colour is so bright
Just might try this
I would classify this more as a relish than catsup, but it looks lovely.
The only thing I remember about those, is that it was like biting into styrofoam and I wondered if they can be used for anything else except juice. ^^
Traditionally they were used to flavor meat, which I would say is much wiser than as juice.
Who the frack puts cranberry sauce on their mashed potatoes!? Barbaric! Though I'm intrigued.
Vegetarians like Jared, I guess. Not my choice either.
I eat my entire Thanksgiving meal with cranberry sauce
They're pretty good in smoothies too. And they're cheaper than frozen blueberries by the pound where I live.
I made today you recipe, and it taste good. It has a little cherry taste, the natural flavor not the artificial. And it is tart, scratchy in the throat. My wife dont like it. I taste it with a piece of dark chocolate 😁.i may ad it to dark sauces.

I feel much better knowing you have feline supervision. 😹 I have 2 cats and one of them is frequently watching me from above. They need to make sure everything is on the up and up.
I have the same plates, nice
Your scale is working well for me. im usually guessing the same number every video. Im a horticulturist and enjoy your content.
That looked really good. I checked and seen that you can purchase cranberry hot sauce, horseradish and cranberry mustard but didn't see ketchup.

Next time, add the orange zest after it's done cooking. You'll get more flavor out of it that way.
Such a dainty and benign ceiling-cat! Vostok in the house; all is well.
Its a weird styrofoamy crunchiness. I like it; will get a pack off frozen ones and eat them by the handful.
Very goood
Hey Weird Fruit Guy! I hate cranberry sauce but that cranberry ketchup looks tasty 👍
It is insane how red that is
put it in a ground turkey our chiken burger with stuffing and greens!
Pretty sure he's a full time vegetarian
You need to try Capulines and Misperos from Michoacán Mexico 😋😋
He’s tried both of those
Epic
I have watched many of your videos and not seen sweet limes. I only know of the juice as a beverage. Well known in India, Iran and Mexico.
Is this like flavored peanut butter ? Maybe you should do a peanut butter ketchup with ginger. What the world really needs are new ways to eat cauliflower. Non-dairy dips have been tried at farmers markets but never last. The new almond dips called "Bitchin" from Carlsbad, Calif. have gone to the moon.
I just bought miracles berries but haven't thought of the best way to use them. Maybe I could eat thousands of fresh cranberries
Miracle berries and cranberries would be a great combo. it might have more of a blueberry flavor that way
On Amazon, you can buy a bottle of pure Cranberry juice. It's an experience, if you haven't done it before. Amazing juice. The bottle is black, because the Cranberries dye the plastic black.

This will be year 2 of cranberry ketchup for our family!
I missed Thanksgiving. 2020 is so weird
good news

Coming up next week :)
I like the music btw
Lol, last week was the first time I also had my first fresh cranberry, from the same brand
0:28 was this recorded last year?
2020: time has no meaning (also, probably, or he could have celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving which is in October)
@@BliffleSplick I don't think he brought his cat to Canada.
A+ for proper microplane form.
Actually banana ketchup is great!
If you freeze and thaw cranberries a few times, they become soft (and delicious IMHO)
