Nobody cares about food.

That must be a Canadian thing. I've never heard of it. The first eight pictures for an image search of homemade fruit ketchup are all Canadian websites.

I may be using the wrong word. When I first looked up the translation (homemade ketchup) I didn’t see what I was looking for so added “fruit”. I think it’s also eaten in New England, but maybe it’s just called something else.

That recipe has an odd instruction.

For the whole cooking period, put 3 pennies evenly spaced on your burner to avoid the sticking in the bottom of your pot.

This recipe is intriguing and I think I might give it a try but basically cut it in half. I don't recall anyone in my family ever making it but it could be more of a regional (Quebec) thing and my family was from Alberta and BC.

I really thought is was more known. Didn’t think it was specific to here.

I recall learning about how bread & butter pickles were originally from the New England area, or at least, that’s where the name came from. It’s early and I don’t feel like going down the pickle rabbit hole, but I would guess that early settlers from Europe in Nouvelle France/New England probably had to deal with harsh winters and pickled everything they could to get through months of no crops.

Anyhow, pears, apples, celery, rhubarb, and spices… people have their own versions. I think you have fruit trees, don’t you Rose?

I don’t want to put anyone off, It does taste good, not just with tourtière, but pork, poultry. Just remember to not include cores….Someone usually makes some during the holidays to give as gifts for the host, or add to potluck type big family gatherings.

Seems like it would make an electric stove top work more like a gas stove, with hot air carrying the majority of the heat instead of direct contact with the coil. That would even out the heat.

If you take the ingredients for that recipe and chop them up and mix it fresh instead of cooking it down, it would make a decent chutney.

Chutney! I knew there was a better term. Yes, similar to a chunky chutney.

Chutney is what I was thinking, too. Here in the US, ketchup is almost exclusively tomato-based (though tomatoes are a fruit), and don't have seeds or pulp in it, unless it's been made really badly.

Well-made fruit chutney, though, is usually pretty delicious on lamb or pork, though it's not something I have very often.

The local bar had a special last night. A fried pickle, peanut butter burger with bacon. I'm adventurous with food, so with a little worry I ordered it. It was really good.

Halloween wouldn't be cancelled even if the streets were on fire.
