How to Make Kalabasa Ketchup


I assumed that the ingredients for making kalabasa ketchup could be the same as tomato ketchup or banana ketchup. I chose banana ketchup recipe as model.

Here are the ingredients:
250 g kalabasa, no peel and seeds, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup water
3/4 cup vinegar
250 g second class sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground pepper
1 tbsp cornstarch

Procedure:

1) Boil kalabasa slices in water until tender. It should take less than 15 minutes.

4) Place over a medium flame and stir continuously until tacky or similar to ketchup consistency.
