If you are looking for a quick and easy, inexpensive ketchup to make at home with no additives or preservatives, this is the simplest option I have found. I am still working on this recipe and am honestly not thrilled with it yet, but it has received positive feedback from a handful of people. Specifically, from people that prefer a slightly sweeter ketchup. I’m posting this at the request of a friend who really liked it. So, if quick and easy recipes are your style, try it and let me know what you think.
I would really love to know what you would change. I plan to work on this some more and I will post my final version when I am truly happy with it. I’m not a big ketchup user, but when I do use ketchup, it is always Heinz. I’m not going to lie to you. This does not taste like Heinz. I have not yet come up with a simple method for ketchup made at home that can compare with everyone’s favorite ketchup. However, this is an acceptable ketchup that worked well with fries. Yes, I’m calling it acceptable, because tomorrow, I’m going to post an exceptional homemade from scratch ketchup recipe. It is neither quick nor simple, but it is worth it. I am so incredibly happy with the other ketchup, I almost didn’t post this one. But, I wanted to give an easier option as well. I would REALLY love for someone to tweak this in a way that makes it fabulous!
