"This recipe is adapted from Hubert Keller's Burger Bar cookbook. I never had a piquillo pepper before. They taste like an Italian roasted red pepper, but with more tang. I like the idea of making homemade ketchup so I can control the amount of sugar and salt used in the recipe. I topped a homemade veggie burger with the finished product."

Made for PAC 2010. Very tasty ketchup. I couldn't find piquillo peppers so I used roasted red peppers. Will make again. Thanks for sharing.
