Save the Day Ketchup

 

Ketchup with an extra oomph
Add a spicy blend of mustard, mayonnaise and pickle relish.

 

Or go for a south of the border twist
Chop tomato, onion and canned green chilies; add to ketchup along with a pinch of cumin.

 

Quick shrimp cocktail dip
Mix 1 cup ketchup with 2 tablespoons horseradish, juice of half lemon, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper to taste.

 

Flavor booster for broiled meats
Mash a stick of butter with 1 tablespoon ketchup; stir in 1 teaspoon tarragon and shape into log. Refrigerate till needed. Sliced-off pats will melt on sizzling steak.

 

Easy appetizer
Brush baked chicken wings 15 minutes before done with glaze: 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon each brown sugar, apricot jam, vinegar, and soy sauce, plus a dash of liquid smoke.
