Fruit ketchup is part of our traditions, each family having its favorite recipe. This side dish goes perfectly with pâté, meat pie, bifteck and quiche. We usually cook it during fall when harvesting season is plentiful of local and fresh ingredients. Make your stocks to bring comfort to the cold days of winter coming.
