- Tomato Paste: You can make tomato paste from scratch.
- Sugar: Can substitute honey, Stevia, Splenda, Agave, or leave it out, depending on taste and dietary preferences. Keep in mind that each will alter the flavor (especially honey).
- Fresh Tomatoes: If you’d like to use fresh garden tomatoes for ketchup, I suggest this recipe, or this one for home canning.

- Freezing Instructions: I suggest freezing in ice cube trays, then once frozen, store the cubes in a freezer bag for easy access and quick thawing.
