By the age of 12 John Heinz was peddling produce frorn his family's garden in post-Civil War Pittsburgh. By age 25, he and a friend launched Heinz & Noble to sell bottled horseradish in elear glass bottles to reveal its purity. Henry's pickling empire grew as he added jarns, jellies, and condirnents to the linę, including ketchup, which was added in 1876. You'll still see the farnous Heinz piekle logo on every product. And if you want a quick tip on how to get the thick stuff out of the bottle easily, don't pound on the backside like a rnaniac. Instead Heinz recomrnends a good smack to the ernbossed '57' found on the neck of every bottle. Today Heinz is the world's largest tornato processor, with the farnous ketchup bottles sitting on a shelf sornewhere in over half of U.S. households. But if you find your house is all out, just create a sirnple clone with a few comrnon ingredients. You'll get a whole 12-ounce bottle worth of thick, tasty ketchup with this secret recipe.
