Sugar (as needed)

Vinegar 1 1/2 cups

Black pepper a pinch

Salt a pinch

Clove 1 piece

Recipe

Wash the tomatoes well and cut them in half so they cook faster.
Put 1 cup of water and the prepared tomatoes in a pot and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, steaming them until soft.
Blend the cooked tomatoes finely using a blender or hand blender.
Strain the tomato puree through a sieve to remove the tough skins and seeds.
Return the strained puree to the pot and add sugar, vinegar, black pepper, salt, and 1 clove.
Boil over high heat, being careful to avoid splattering, and reduce until the mixture is thick and sticky.
Strain the finished ketchup through a sieve one more time for a very smooth texture.

Cut tomatoes in half and boil with water for 15 minutes until soft.
Blend the tomatoes finely in a blender, then strain through a sieve to keep only the puree.
Add sugar, vinegar, and spices, and reduce until thick, then strain again.

Cooking tips

The tomato skins are easily removed during straining, so there's no need to peel them beforehand.
Clove has a very strong flavor, so even for large batches, use only one to prevent it from overpowering.
The sauce may splatter during reduction, so use a deep pot to keep things clean.

Recommended for

Those who want to make a healthy, non-artificial homemade sauce instead of store-bought ones.
Those who have an abundance of tomatoes and need a useful way to use them up in a different way.
