Zero Waste Ketchup

It is estimated that one third of the food produced in the world gets wasted. And if you are growing your own food, I bet you don't want to waste a single, let's say, tomato. The cold hit Provence unexpectedly this year, and my green zebra tomatoes didn't have time to ripen. I was left with several pounds of good looking, but very sour tomatoes, and as my kids are ''add ketchup to everything'' type of kids (like, whose kids aren't?), I've used all those beautiful looking green zebras in homemade ketchup. My 8 year old son couldn't get enough of it this evening, so guess tomorrow it's green pasta day!
