Pumpkin Ketchups

Chef Josh has made a home for pumpkins beyond the pie shell; he has turned them into ketchup. The mildness of the pumpkin pairs beautifully with zingy flavors such as in the Chipotle Pumpkin Ketchup or found in the Apple Vinegar Brown Sugar Pumpkin Ketchup. The Thai Coconut Pumpkin Ketchup is quite possibly one of the most intricate of flavor combinations, perfect for elevating Asian inspired dishes. You can substitute these spreads wherever you would usually use (boring) tomato ketchup. Need ideas? Check out these recipes from Skillet Street Food!
