Have you tried simply heinz ketchup? It's awesome.
Yes! I've always been an avid Heinz Ketchup user, and when I found Simply Heinz and tried it, I was pleasantly surprised. It's fantastick.
Great!
I have made ketchup before(not your recipe) but it didn't taste very good. I am excited to try this.
1948, Keep us posted!
Does anyone know if this can be frozen?
Never have frozen it…let us know if you do and the results!
is there a recipe for using home grown tomatoes?
A ketchup recipe?
I altered this just a bit b/c of my son's food allergies. I used 1 tbs. dark unsulfered molasses instead of 2, did 1 tbs. of dried chives instead of the garlic and onions, and did about 1/8 c. white vinegar. It was delicious! This recipe is a winner! Best ketchup recipe I've found. Thanks for a great recipe!
Nicole, That's fantastic! I love when someone finds our recipes easy to tweak and they're still delicious.
in the ingredients, it says "unsalted" unsalted what??
I removed the word. Thanks!
FYI I I used agave in place of molasses or honey and it turned out great.
Quick question! Prepared mustard or mustard powder?
Kevin, Prepared.
I've been meaning to make ketchup. Thanks for the reminder. I would add a word of caution about tomato paste. I found a couple recently in my pantry that had all kinds of unexpected "stuff" in them. I threw them out. Watch the labels. It seems like it should be a simple ingredient list, but they can apparently get lengthy (and gross).
Marvelyn, Thanks! I definitely agree with that. Some tomato paste brands have all sorts of ingredients, including added sugar.

The sugar per serving (11grams) is high for me, is there a substitute for the molasses or honey?
Karen, Stevia might work.
If I use fresh tomatoes instead of the canned tomato paste how much tomatoes does that equate to? As in 2 or 3 lbs perhaps?
I would try 1 lb for this recipe.
