Ingredients

  • 10-12 oz. of tomato paste
  • 1/8 - 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar add 1/8 cup first - the full 1/3 makes a tangier ketchup (which we like). If you want more tang, add a little more at a time. White vinegar can also be used.
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
  • pinch ground all spice

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add tomato paste.
  • Pour in vinegar and mix well.
  • Add the rest of ingredients and mix well.
  • Taste and add additional spices if desired.
  • Use as a side or condiment and store the rest in an airtight container in the fridge for a month.

Notes

I used apple cider vinegar because we like a tangier ketchup. You can use white vinegar also or even cut the vinegar with some water. Also, this made for thicker ketchup. If you like a loose ketchup, add another 1/4 cup of liquid. The spices can be altered for taste. Add more sugar for a sweeter ketchup. Add more cayenne for a spicier ketchup. It's totally up to you!
Nutritional value is approximately based on 1 cup of ketchup.
