Easy Homemade Ketchup (10 Minutes)

tomato

(120 grams) water

(20 grams) pure maple syrup

allspice

Please make sure

scale.

To a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients and whisk very well for 1-2 minutes. You want to make sure everything is mixed thoroughly and is smooth.

Pour the sauce into a small pot over medium heat. As soon as it starts to simmer/bubble around the edges well, set your timer for exactly 4 minutes and whisk or stir with a rubber spatula constantly. Do not walk away from it or it'll stick to the bottom and pop all over the place. We are cooking it to cook out the raw spices flavor and develop the classic ketchup flavor. 4 minutes is just enough to do this. The color will slightly darken.

Pour the ketchup into a glass container and chill a few hours or overnight to let the flavors develop fully and get nice and cold to dip potato wedges in. Use in my homemade Thousand Island Dressing! Or, use on burgers, vegan hot dogs or whatever you like!

If you would like to make the potato wedges I have pictured, it is very easy. These are nothing fancy or crispy like fries, but are delicious and simple, healthy potato wedges that taste great with the ketchup! Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Peel and slice 3 large russet potatoes into 1/2 inch thick fry shapes. Spread out evenly on the pan. Salt and pepper well and bake for 25-30 minutes until they are getting very golden brown. Serve immediately with the ketchup.

Delicious easy recipe!  Thank you for sharing it! 😋

This ketchup is delicious. There are no preservatives, less sodium and refined sugar free. I took the homemade ketchup and poured into ice cube trays. After they are frozen I pop them out and place them in a freezer bag. When I need ketchup I take out a cube or two, depending on how much I need. Thank you Brandi for another perfect healthy recipe.

Outstanding recipe. I will be giving this a go.

This is the best homemade ketchup ever.  I did sub the vinegar with lemon because vinegar is very acidic for the body and I avoid it whenever possible.  One additional change that I made is that I subbed the tomato paste/water with one bottle of strained tomatoes.  To me, they have a similar consistency.  I doubled the recipe, using the entire bottle of strained tomatoes so that I could reuse the glass bottle as my homemade ketchup bottle.  Brilliant!

I substituted lemon juice for the vinegar and it is still the best homemade katchup I have ever tasted.  I tried making it in the past but gave up because the results were so disappointing.  Thank you!  This recipe is a keeper.

Very nice, simple recipe. Thanks so much!

It is so nice!!!
I always wanted to try ketchup but all recipes use spirit vinegar and I cannot have it so THANK YOU

I came across your recipe for this ketchup online. I was dubious that it would taste like “real” ketchup, but I gave it a try, thinking I would get a healthy approximation of ketchup. Your daughter is right! This tastes just like store bought ketchup ...actually it’s even better. We didn’t even wait for the flavors to meld and it tasted perfect!  I can’t wait to explore more of your recipes!

I know you said not to sub the vinegar, but I'm avoiding it right now while I cleanse.  I made this recipe with lemon juice instead and it is delicious!!  Thanks again for a great recipe.

Amazing taste - my search for the perfect ketchup recipe is over! Brandi always nails it, no kidding.
