How to Make Seriously Good Ketchup from Scratch If you're up for cooking an onion until sweet, adding tomatoes and some spices then simmering until thick and shiny, then you're up for making your very own version of homemade ketchup. Using a wooden spoon or a potato masher, gently mash the tomatoes to release their juices. If you want more tang, add a little more at a time.
Instructions to make Ketchup homemade from scratch:
- Place tomatoes, onions, bell pepper and garlic in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft (about 30 minutes).
- Puree in blender until smooth and pass through fine strainer into a large bowl. Or my preference is to place vegetables in food mill and grind through finest blade. Return puree to the cleaned pot.
- Place peppercorns, mustard seeds, allspice berries, cloves, celery seeds, ginger, cinnamon stick and bay leaves on the piece of cheesecloth and tie out up into a spice bag. You can use string or thread to tie it tight. Place into the puree in the pot.
- Add the brown sugar, paprika, vinegar, salt and cayenne. Simmer it all slowly. Stirring it frequently until the ketchup is very thick. This can take from 1 1/2 to 4 hours. Remove the spice bag.
- If you want to can the ketchup for a long shelf-life (mine have lasted a little over a year), sterilize canning jars. Fill with hot ketchup, leaving 1/4 inch headroom. Seal and process in a boiling-water bath for 12 minutes. Remove and cool. Otherwise, pour into clean jars and refrigerate, will last less than a month.
