Cooking tips

Using plump, sweet ripe tomatoes will make the ketchup much richer in flavor.
After simmering until thickened by evaporating enough moisture, store in a sterilized glass jar in the refrigerator, and use clean utensils to scoop out.
Adding a little more tomato paste can shorten the cooking time and add a store-bought ketchup-like consistency and savory depth.

Recommended for

Those who find the synthetic additives or strong sweetness of store-bought ketchup off-putting.
Those who want to make their own homemade sauce to enjoy with family.
Those who want to use well-ripened tomatoes to make a rich tomato sauce from scratch.
