Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 peeled small diced small yellow onion
  • 3 finely minced garlic cloves
  • 24 ounces tomato puree
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 to ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the oil to a medium-sized sauce pot over low to medium heat.
  2. Stir in the onions and garlic and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until softened and very lightly browned. Do not caramelize.
  3. Next, add in the tomato puree, water, tomato paste, cinnamon, cloves, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt, and vinegar.
  4. 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.
  5. Strain the ketchup through a fine mess strainer using a spoon or rubber spatula to help push through as much as possible.
  6. Chill the ketchup before storing or serving.
  7. Make-Ahead and Storage

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.
