Tomato Tradition What about those Scrooges who might wrinkle their noses at the new idea of ketchup at the holiday table? Ketchup is unlikely to be daunted, for the tomato has created new tradi- tions before. First grown in Cen- tral America, the tomato was scorned in the United States and Canada for many years, perhaps because its bright hue and zesty taste were unfamiliar to people used to the drab diets of that era. Slowly the tomato gained favor. Part of that history is the rise of ketchup as one of the first foods to bring color and flavor to meals year-round in the era before fresh fruits and vegetables were available out of season. Today, tomatoes and ketchup are favorites—and now it’s time for holiday menus to “ketch up” to the tomato tradition. 1 cup small diced celery 1% cup small diced sweet onion %-*4, cup dried cranberries 1 cup Boston Market* Chicken Broth % cup Heinz Tomato Ketchup % teaspoon allspice Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
