Mushroom Ketchup

Instructions

1. Combine all Mushrooms and Aromatics in a large pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Add all Liquid and Seasoning ingredients to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 60-75 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by about half and the mixture has thickened.
3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
4. Strain the ketchup through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth to remove any remaining solids. Discard the solids.
5. Pour the strained ketchup into sterilized jars or bottles. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
