Homemade Ketchup in Just 5 Minutes!

This homemade ketchup recipe uses tomato paste combined with maple syrup, vinegar, water, and spices to create a quick, smooth condiment. The blend of onion powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, and black pepper provides a nuanced flavor profile. Optional nutmeg and chili powder bring warmth and mild heat, making it versatile for use with various dishes.

Description

The recipe starts by placing organic tomato paste and sweet maple syrup with white or apple cider vinegar, water, and a mix of dry spices into a powerful blender. Onion powder, garlic powder, salt, cinnamon, and black pepper form the base seasoning that delivers a balanced sweet and savory taste. The ingredients are blended until the mixture is smooth, mimicking the familiar texture of commercial ketchup.

For those who prefer a spicier or warmer variation, grated nutmeg and chili powder can be added at the end of blending. This adds complexity without overpowering the tomato base. The chili powder delivers subtle heat while nutmeg provides a warm undertone.

The ketchup stores well in an airtight container placed in the refrigerator, remaining fresh for up to one week. It offers a homemade alternative with control over sweetness and spice levels, suitable for serving with fries, sandwiches, or as a dip.
