This week I continued my from scratch journey in making everything I serve from scratch. I tried 3 new things: finger paint, tomato paste, and ketchup.
The finger paint was 1/3 cup corn starch or arrow root and 2 cups water mixed and cooked on the stove top till thick like gel. Then I add 1/3 cup dishwashing detergent and a few drops of food coloring. Once finished enjoy with the children.
Tomato paste is made from 1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes boiled down till thick with 1 tsp. of onion powder and 1 tsp. garlic powder.
Ketchup is made from 12 oz of tomato paste, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup either maple syrup or honey, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp. dry mustard, 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder and onion powder if not using homemade tomato paste, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 4 Tbs. cider vinegar. Combine and blend in blender till smooth. Store in refrigerator or pour in canning jars and process.
Don't forget to join Sarah on her journey in making things from scratch and writing about it every Thursday.
