Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion yellow, peeled, small diced
- 3 garlic finely minced
- 24 ounces tomato puree
- ½ cup water
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves ground
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 to ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt coarse
Instructions
- Add the oil to a medium-sized sauce pot over low to medium heat.
- Stir in the onions and garlic and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until softened and very lightly browned. Do not caramelize.
- Next, add in the tomato puree, water, tomato paste, cinnamon, cloves, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt, and vinegar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer over low heat while occasionally stirring for 40 to 45 minutes or until the consistency resembles ketchup.
- Strain the ketchup through a fine mess strainer using a spoon or rubber spatula to help push through as much as possible.
- Chill the ketchup before storing or serving.

Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this several days ahead.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. You can freeze this covered for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator for 1 day before using.
- If you use garlic and onion powder, you will not need oil as there is no need to sauté the dry ingredients. You simply add everything to the pot and cook.
- I usually add the water from the tomato puree to the can or jar, giving it a few shakes before pouring it into the pot.
- You can jar this, cover it in water, and boiled for 10 minutes before cooling it to room temperature and storing it in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
- 24 ounces of canned tomatoes is equal to 4 cups of fresh.
