Catchup Recipe.
How to make it in the best manner.
Today’s recipe does not make it into the 5 ingredients or less category. Lots of condiments get labeled as ‘ketchup’ in antique cookbooks. Chiefly, a mushroom concoction appears by the mid to late 1800s. The recipe below is the first I’ve seen that: (1) uses wine and anchovies, and (2) has this incredible, complex range of flavors. No idea what it would end up tasting like.
Fun read!

Don’t you just love the way the early printers used a f for a s. I guess there were not enough s’s in their type sets.
