Chef's Note

*The amount of sugar will depend on the ripeness of the fruit, your taste, and how you will use the ketchup. In Quebec, fruit ketchup is usually served with tourtière (meat pie), pâté, pork chops, etc.

**Pickling spice is sold already prepared under this name. Although the proportions and choice of spices depend on the source, the North American recipe usually includes black pepper, white mustard seed, chili, allspice, dill seed, mace, cinnamon, bay leaf, cloves and ginger. Other recipes may consist of coriander and mustard seeds, cinnamon, bay leaf, allspice, ginger, cloves and various peppers.
