Before diving into the recipe, the host announces some exciting news: the upcoming publication of the Tasting History cookbook, set to release on April 25, 2023. This cookbook promises to compile beloved recipes from the show along with some never-before-seen dishes.
The White Ketchup Recipe
The white ketchup recipe is both elaborate and intriguing. It contains:
1 quart white wine
2 cups elderflower vinegar (or homemade)
1 quart water
1/2 pound anchovies
1/2 pound horseradish
Seasoning: shallots, white pepper, mace, and nutmeg
The preparation involves boiling these ingredients, leading to a perplexing appearance that contradicts the "white" label. Although it combines many light-colored ingredients, the final product resembles a dark sauce.
