Easy Ketchup Recipes

EASY KETCHUP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, stir together all of the ingredients until combined and bring everything to a simmer.
• Allow the ketchup to simmer, while stirring often, for about 5-10 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and everything is well combined.
• If the ketchup is too thick, you can add more water 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. I like using 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of water total for my ketchup.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired, adding more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tartness or salt for saltiness.
• Turn off the heat and allow the ketchup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar or container.

Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute, then add the whole peeled tomatoes and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon; remove from the heat.
• Puree the ketchup in batches in a blender until smooth; return to the pot. Add the bay leaves, brown sugar, vinegar, molasses and 4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching, until very thick, about 1 hour, 45 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and let the ketchup cool. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• In a large, shallow saucepan, combine the tomato paste, brown sugar, molasses, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, cinnamon, allspice, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, salt, and water.

• Enjoy!

KETCHUP

• Puree mixture in a blender and strain through a mesh strainer. Chill and store in refrigerator.

HOMEMADE KETCHUP

Steps:

• Put the onions and celery into a food processor and whizz until finely chopped. Heat the oil in a very large saucepan, add the onions and celery, cover, then soften over a low heat for 5 mins. Add the garlic, cook 5 mins more, then tip in the spices and cook for 1 min.
• Now stir in all remaining ingredients and bring to the boil. Keep on a bubbling simmer, uncovered, for 1 hr until the tomatoes are squashy and the liquid has reduced by several inches. Discard the cinnamon stick.
• Whizz the mix with a stick blender until smooth, then sieve into a bowl. The ketchup will thicken a little when it cools, but if yours seems very runny (this will depend on the juiciness of your tomatoes), put it back on the heat and cook a little longer, stirring often, until reduced. Keep the ketchup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 months, or freeze in batches. If you like, keep in sterilised bottles or jars for up to 6 months - see tip, below.
