Is it ok when making ketchup to weigh out the amounts of tomatoes,process them through a food mill,and then cook them as the recipe says?
I just don't see the point of peeling, coring,quartering and then cooking the tomatoes.It seems simpler to just go ahead and put the required amounts through the food mill first.I'd like to avoid seeds being in there.It's going to eventually go through the food mill anyways.
One recipe says to cook in a saucepot until the tomatoes are tender.Then puree in a food processor or use a food mill.
Depending on what Ball Blue Book I use,the directions differ..
If it's not a good idea tell me so.I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
