The History of Ketchup

Ketchup dates back as far as 1600 AD when sailors traveling to

China discovered a sauce made of soy or oysters called

'ketsiap'. This version quickly changed ingredients to include

mushrooms, anchovies, shallots, and lemon peel. Then in the late

1700's tomato ketchup appeared in Nova Scotia and began the

transformation to today's sweet tomato version.



Ketchup began to be commercially available in the United States

during the 1830's when a New England farmer bottled and sold his

version of the tomato condiment. In 1837 ketchup gained in

popularity when Jonas Yerkes bottled and sold ketchup in quart

and pint sized bottles. Then in 1872 HJ Heinz began to sell what

we know today as Heinz Ketchup. Heinz's recipe is the same today

as it was when he placed this popular condiment on store shelves

everywhere.



The catsup spelling went out of popularity in 1981 when Ronald

Regan's administration declared 'Ketchup' a vegetable that could

be used in school lunches. Public outcry caused a reversal of

this ruling and today ketchup is back as a condiment.



If you would like to try making ketchup for yourself here is an

easy recipe that can be modified to satisfy spicy or sweet

pallets.
