ketchup recipe

Ketchup is very simple to make and is so much more flavorful than anything you can buy at the store. We don’t like it to be too sweet and like to add only 3 to 4 tablespoons of sugar to the pot, but if you prefer, add a little more to make the ketchup sweeter. The sweetness of tomatoes can range, too, so it really is best to taste the ketchup and add the sugar to taste. You can also play around with flavors, this version has a kick of spice from crushed red pepper flakes, but you could add fresh jalapeño, chipotle or hot sauce to transform it into spicy ketchup. Other spices are nice, too — try curry powder or garam masala for an Indian-spiced version.

Seriously Good Homemade Ketchup

olive oil

onion,

garlic cloves, chopped (about 1 tablespoon)

red pepper flakes

allspice

tomato paste

tomatoes

apple cider vinegar

Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Really good.  I made the recipe as written only made it low carb by substituting 1 tsp blackstrap molasses and 1/4 cup of granulated stevia -- the kind that is a 1:1 replacement for sugar.  If you don't like it this sweet tasting cut back on the stevia but keep the tsp of blackstrap molasses.  I'm diabetic so I have to watch every gram of net carbs and I really like ketchup.

I made the ketchup for a recipe that only used 3tbsp.  Tonight I made spaghetti sauce and used the ketchup as my tomatoes.   So Good!  Rave reviews from the whole family...and I don’t even like spaghetti sauce.

How long and how can this ketchup be kept fresh ?

How to make our seriously good homemade ketchup recipe. Make ketchup that's better than anything you can buy at the store!

Seriously Good Homemade Ketchup Recipe

Easy, homemade ketchup made in 1 pot with simple ingredients! Naturally sweetened, tangy, and bright with tomato flavor! Perfect for burgers, fries, and beyond!

Easy Homemade Ketchup (Naturally Sweetened!)

can tomato purée

maple syrup

white vinegar

Tbsp apple cider vinegar

onion powder

garlic powder

tsp sea salt

If using crushed tomatoes and you want very smooth ketchup, place all ingredients in a small blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

Place all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir until well combined, then turn the heat on medium low. Stir gently until everything comes to a light simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low.

Let simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until slightly reduced and darkened in color, stirring every 10-15 minutes to prevent sticking.

Once reduced, use a teaspoon to remove a spoonful from the saucepan, and let it cool on the counter — you want to taste it cooled for accurate adjustment! Taste and adjust if  desired, adding salt to taste, more vinegar (1 Tbsp at a time) for tang, more maple syrup for sweetness, or more onion powder for more savory notes.

Enjoy with French fries, vegan burgers, breakfast sausage, and beyond! Will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months (frozen into ice cube molds).

To make this 2-minute healthy ketchup you just need to mix all the ingredients in a bowl. In addition, all the ingredients are really easy to get.

2-Minute Healthy Ketchup

tomato paste (270 g)

tbsp apple cider vinegar

oregano

Sea salt to taste (optional)

I ran out of ketchup while making meatloaf and looked up this recipe in a pinch. I LOVE the flavor and can’t wait to make more! My 2 preschool kids love it too!

Thanks for this easy healthy recipe.  My husband, granddaughter and myself enjoyed it very much.  Making it again today.

I used 2 small cans of tomato paste, a heaping tsp of oregano and about 3 1/2 TBsp of honey instead of maple syrup…loved it! Thank you for the easy recipe!

Canned Ketchup Recipe (Heinz Copycat)

22 lbs tomatoes ((1/2 bushel))

white distilled vinegar

Tbsp salt

cinnamon

cloves

tsp all-spice

cayenne pepper

Thermflo

Trim, quarter, and place tomatoes into a large stockpot. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally.

When tomatoes have softened, either blend with a hand blender or run through a food mill. If using a food mill the skins and seeds can be discarded. Reserve 1 cup of tomato juice (for thickening later.) Simmer down to about half the liquid* (2-3 hours.)

Add the vinegar, tomato paste, sugar, and spices; bring to a simmer.

Meanwhile, place 1/3 cup of Thermflo into a bowl. Slowly whisk in the reserved tomato juice and whisk into the simmering tomato ketchup.

Pour ketchup into jars and place lids and bands on, (don&#39;t screw tightly shut.) Place jars into a large stockpot. Pour hot tap water in at least halfway up. Boil 10 minutes covered from the time the water boils.

Remove jars with a jar lifter and screw each jar tightly shut using a kitchen towel. Check if the lids are sealed AFTER 24 hours (they need to seal on their own first.)
