Homemade Ketchup
Description
This Homemade Ketchup recipe transforms canned tomato paste into a flavorful condiment by simmering it with honey for sweetness, white vinegar for acidity, and seasonings like onion and garlic powder. Sugar and salt balance the flavors, while water adjusts the consistency. Simmering concentrates flavors and melds all ingredients into a smooth sauce with a familiar tang and mild sweetness.
The ketchup achieves a thick texture suitable for dipping or as a sauce base. It can be served as a substitute for store-bought ketchup with the advantages of controlling ingredients and sweetness level. The simple ingredient list makes it accessible and easy to have on hand.
After cooking, it is important to cool and refrigerate the ketchup in a covered container. It keeps well for at least seven days. Honey can be substituted with agave if preferred, adjusting sweetness according to taste.
