A good ketchup you made yourself just takes any meal you’re serving up a level, like putting home-made bread on the table. It says, ‘sure, I put the effort into making this meal, but I took it one step further than you expected and BAM’. Because no-one’s going to be upset if you cooked them a burger and chips and you get out some Heinz, but you’ll definitely get bonus points if you plonk down a dish of some interesting ketchup you made yourself. They’re also free of artificial colours, preservatives and suitable for veggies which makes them a winner in our book. I liked the tomato and beetroot ketchups best. The others were a bit too overpowering for me but if you like bold and hot flavours, like my friends do, you’ll probably love them. The range shows that it pays to broaden your horizons and try something different. They are all very different so there’s bound to be at least one that you like and can use to bring some rich flavours to your table. But, if you're giving this ketchup away as a gift it is nice to have some really pretty flip-top bottles - I love these Kilner 250ml bottles which I bought for a vodka project last year but are now being re-used! Place a frying pan (cast iron is perfect if you have it) over a high heat, when hot add the flatbread oiled side down and cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is set and slightly charred, drizzle with a little more oil and flip to cook the other side. Remove, set aside, and repeat with the remaining flat breads.

You will need some sort of blender, food processor or mini-chopper for this ketchup. I have a small and a large one, and use whichever is easiest for the quantity I am making. For a real taste of home, browse our Puddings and Desserts section and get tempted by all of the delicious food that you could have delivered to your door. Remember Angel Delight? Nothing could taste more nostalgic than this lovely whipped dessert and we sell so many different flavours! Ambrosia Devon Custard is another family favourite along with Ambrosia Semolina, Ambrosia Creamed Rice, Ambrosia Rice Pudding and Ambrosia Tapioca (remember that from school lunches?!). For that special occasion you will probably do what we do in the UK and go to your higher end supermarket to get that lovely treat to make your day. We recommend the fabulous Marks and Spencer Salted Caramel Sauce to add that special something to your ice cream or their White Chocolate Fudge Sauce - a real favourite of our grandchildren! Waitrose too can offer you those sweet treats - try their Seriously Chocolatey Dipping Sauce which is simply heavenly! self-raising flour, plus extra for kneading/rolling (you can also use gluten free bread flour blend)
