Starting tomato velvet.

The first of three steps to a modified ketchup. First come the tomato paste. The canned stuff doesn't agree with me - probably because of whatever trace amounts of corn, soy or preservative find their way into them - then it gets mixed with herbs, garlic and other good stuff. Then comes the fermenting medium and three days later it's ketchup!

Wow. It's moving fast. Better turn down the burner.

I haven't made this in a long while, so no recipe yet. Hopefully I'll get it right then it will get posted.

For now I send you the aroma of simmering tomatoes. :-)
