Sunday Smoked Salt and 'sup

[squirtthecat]

2 pounds kosher salt on Bunn commercial coffee filters, and a pound (big bottle) of Heinz ketchup.  Getting 4 hours of Pecan.
(might pull the ketchup out earlier - we'll see how warm it gets)

Your helper is gorgeous!!!

Let us know what you think of the ketchup.  I've never used that much smoke on it, so curious how it will turn out.

Will do!  I'll probably pull it out after 2 hours, and swap the salt racks.   Even with the ice, it's 141° in there..

I just went out to give everything a quick stir...   (and a taster)  I think that ketchup is going to flat out rock!

Dang the ketchup sounds good.


Hey Pat, here's my little helper!!

Is it done yet?

[squirtthecat]

I pulled the ketchup after 2.5 hours.  Gave it a stir, then slide the pan into a ziplock bag to chill in the fridge.


Salt is getting happy...

Ketchup taste good?  What are you gonna do with it?  Give it to that gal?

Yes and yes.   I just did one big bottle.   Next time I'll do 3 or 4 of the smaller bottles, so they can divvy them up.

It's really good!   I'm surprised..   It's like bold smokey ketchup now.

[squirtthecat]

Salt is done..





... and back in the original containers.


Kitchen reeks of Pecan smoke now.

Salt picked up some nice color!!

[SouthernSmoked]

Great job - salt looks awesome.

How was the ketchup??

Also how long did you smoke the salt and ketchup??

[squirtthecat]

Ketchup was very good.....    We had some 'smoked ketchup' (with some kind of appetizer) at Mike Shannon's restaurant in St Louis - it was excellent.

2.5 hours of smoke on the ketchup, 4 solid hours on the salt.

Save a droplet of that ketchup for me if you can!  I wanna taste it..
