This is one in a series of Straight From Your Kitchen DIY Gifts for the upcoming holidays from Seasoned Cookery School and some of its guest chefs.
Squash Ketchup (aka Squetchup) was created by Tim Maddams, one of the UK’s leading voices on seasonal cooking, foraging and wild food. This is his recipe for a very tasty alternative to normal tomato ketchup and something different to do with squash.
