Homemade Ketchup

Credit: Beatriz Da Costa

MAKES 3 CUPS


It began life as ke-tsiap, a 17th-century Chinese brine of pickled fish and spices, and now shows up, in its modern-day tomato-based version, in restaurants and on home tables across the nation—and across the world. Heinz, the company that invented ketchup as we know it, says that it squeezes 24 of its own specially bred tomatoes into each bottle, along with white vinegar, corn syrup, salt, and flavorings (plus a secret ingredient, which SAVEUR contributor Stephanie Pierson is pretty sure she identified, while touring the Heinz factory in Fremont, Ohio, as clove oil). We like Heinz ketchup, incidentally—but we also like to make our own, this way.

1 28-oz. can tomato purée
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and quartered
1 clove garlic, crushed and peeled
1⁄2 fresh jalapeño, stemmed and seeded
2 tbsp. dark brown sugar
1⁄2 cup cider vinegar
Pinch cayenne
Pinch celery salt
Pinch dry mustard
Pinch ground allspice
Pinch ground cloves
Pinch ground ginger
Pinch ground cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Put tomato purée, onions, garlic, jalapeño, and sugar into a blender or food processor and pulse until blended. Add vinegar and 1 cup water and purée until smooth.
2. Transfer to a medium saucepan; add cayenne, celery salt, mustard, allspice, cloves, ginger, and cinnamon. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Store in refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 month.

What to buy in September

By Rachel Conover, Cheapism.com

Think big-ticket items in the month of September. As the first hints of fall blow in so do sales on major items. The Labor Day holiday may present the best discounts on select big-ticket items until Black Friday rolls around in November. Here are the September deals to look for:

Mattresses, Bed and Bath Supplies. Labor Day sales kick off the action early in the month. This is one of those holidays when mattress retailers offer deep discounts on piled up inventory. You may also find some better- than-normal deals on bed and bath supplies, such as linens and towels, during Labor Day sales and throughout the month.

Planes, Bikes, and Automobiles. Looking for a cheap mode of transportation? September ranks high when it comes to snagging low prices on holiday airfare, a bicycle, or a car. Life Hacker recommends buying plane tickets about eight weeks prior to your travel date. September puts you a bit more than eight weeks out from Thanksgiving, so start looking for cheap ticket prices now if you plan to travel for the holiday. Check out Cheapism's list of cheap airlines to learn about prices, policies, and perks.

If you aren't looking for next year's debut models, cars are much more affordable this month than at any other time during the year. The key is to look at last year's models that are taking up space on the car lot. Dealerships want to move these cars out fast this month to make room for 2013 vehicles that will be arriving in short order.

New model bikes are released every September so this is a good month to find deals on older model bikes. Like cars, retailers are looking to clear space for the new wheels and are offering unbeatable deals on current inventory.

Appliances. September is also a good month to buy big appliances (think washer, dryer, refrigerator, stove). New 2013 models will be hitting showrooms soon so retailers are eager to sell off prior year models. While still new and perfectly functional, they aren't of the moment -- a small sacrifice for a better deal.

Fashion Night Out @ White Plains Mall

Yesterday was the first time I attended Fashion Night Out. I decided to go to some events in White Plains instead of NYC because the bus stops running early and I wanted to avoid the long commute. What a mistake. I should have been a trooper and stayed in the city.

The White Plains Mall had a couple of stores participating, but it didn't seem like any had anything going on aside from Neiman Marcus. The mall didn't have any spirit of festivities. I wasted my time visiting the do called participating stores, like Steve Madden, Juicy Couture, Bebe. The sales people looked tired and uninterested. Fashion week was originally created to vamp up the economy I guess there's no need for that in WP since the salesforce had no intent to sale.

By the time I finally made it to Neiman it was 8:02. Their event ended at 8. I saw the gates go down on the second floor, as I neared the door. Damn it, I thought to myself. I went down the escalator to the first floor, and wepa, the gate to the first floor was open. I went in,they were cleaning up. But I got to meet Julie Gerstenblatt, the author of the book "Lauren Takes Leave". I got a autographed copied. I will start reading ASAP and share my thoughts on it. I also got a cupcake. It was delicious.

I then drove to Loheman's. Here, I expected to find a bit more life than at the mall. Negative. The store was supposed to be open until 11. There was a good amount of customers, yet, the salespeople were more concerned with picking up than assisting/selling.

The food station was been taken down. The drinks put away. I overheard one of the guys from the catering crew advise a salesperson that they put the drinks and food in the back.

The good news is that I found this store "Wonder". I love it!!! It's a cross of many brands, like Tory Burch at way lower prices.

First day back to school

Today is my daughter's first back to school. She is now a second grader.

I am so excited for her. She couldn't wait for the first day of school. To wear her new bookbag (Hello Kittie, of course ) and take in her school supplies.

She looks very cute in her outfit. I let her go without an uniform for today.
