The history of the origin of Krasnodar sauce goes back to the distant 30s. And it is connected with the bringing to the USSR of the recipe for ketchup sauce from the United States. Therefore, Krasnodar sauce is considered a distant relative of ketchup.
During Soviet times, Krasnodar sauce was a popular addition to the table, as was sauerkraut. And almost every Soviet family, especially on holidays, decorated their table with sauce. It was served with fish, meat, pasta, noodles.
Krasnodar sauce is a tasty and healthy seasoning for many dishes. I bring to your attention three types of recipes for a delicious Krasnodar sauce with preparation for the winter.

Add spices to the resulting mass: nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, sugar and black ground pepper. Mix everything and set it to cook for another 10 minutes.

We prepare the jars: we rinse them thoroughly (preferably with soda), inspect them for chips and cracks. And we set to sterilize in any way that is more convenient for you. I prefer to sterilize small jars with boiling water. To do this, you need to draw cool water into the pan so that the cans are completely covered. Cover and simmer. After boiling, you need to cook for 5 minutes. Then remove with tongs or a fork and place the cans on a clean ironed towel. Pour the prepared sauce into sterile jars and close with sterile lids.
