What is catsup?
In a year plus time I will need to know, because I've just made some elderberry catsup. The recipe says "strain before using".
Am I straining out the elderberry-flavoured vinegar? Or straining out the onions and the spices?
An internet search has not been helpful - it seems to be a regional name for ketchup. There is no mention of processing it in my recipe, thereby combining the ingredients, which is just as well as I don't use a food processor because I hate the idea of having to wash one.
Catsup is an American word. In the US, what we call tomato ketchup is called tomato catsup, so the recipe you got for what you made is probably from an American source. I first came across the word catsup when I was in the US in the early 1980s.
