Pickled Gooseberry Ketchup

€10.50

Sweet, sharp, and beautifully aromatic.

Gooseberries are one of Anthony’s all-time favourites — so much so that the bushes are tucked away in a quiet corner of the garden, out of sight from curious visitors (and hungry birds). At Fat Tomato, we grow three distinctive varieties: Hinnonmaki Yellow, with its fragrant, apricot-like notes; Hinnonmaki Red, rich and juicy; and Invicta, a sharper green variety that holds its shape beautifully when cooked.

This ketchup begins with our Hinnonmaki Yellow and Invicta gooseberries, capturing their bright, tangy character at peak ripeness. The fruit is first pickled in our own elderflower cider vinegar with juniper, bay, and black peppercorns, and left to develop slowly over time. It’s then blended with Bramley apple, Highbank Orchards’ organic apple syrup, toasted yellow mustard and fennel seeds, and our own fermented garlic and habanero chilli for gentle heat and depth.

The result is a glossy, fruit-led ketchup — with all the good bits left in — sitting somewhere between a pickle, a chutney, and a sauce. Tangy, aromatic, and full of character.

Serve with grilled meats, oily fish, or roast vegetables, or use as a dipping sauce for chips, cheese toasties, or halloumi. It’s equally good brushed over pork chops, mackerel, or courgettes on the grill for a quick, flavour-packed glaze.

Small batch. Seasonal. Naturally fermented. Worth the wait.

Available as a 200g glass bottle for everyday use.
