Homemade Ketchup
Making your own ketchup allows you to control the sodium and sugar content, while you create something even more delicious! Follow the proper canning procedure to keep this ketchup on hand at all times.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds (1.3 kg) tomatoes, cored and quartered
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil, optional
- 1 medium onion, peeled, diced
- ½ cup (110 g) dark brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) salt, optional
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
Directions
- Place tomatoes into the Vitamix container and secure the lid. Select Variable 7 and secure the lid. Pulse 5 to 6 times, or until tomatoes are roughly chopped, using the tamper to press the tomatoes toward the blades.
- In a large saucepan with a heavy bottom, add oil and heat over medium-low heat.
- Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
- Add chopped tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, and all seasonings to the pan. Stir well and let simmer for about an hour.
- Carefully transfer the mixture to the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
- Select Variable 1 or the Puree program.
- Start the machine, slowly increase to its highest speed, and blend for 1 minute; or start the machine and allow the Puree program to complete.
- Cool ketchup before serving.

Easy and local
This is a very simple recipe that is easy to follow. We were looking for a recipe as Heinz moved their processing plant-this allows us to support our local tomatoe growers. I freeze it in jars and it thaws well in the fridge. It is very thick-I would prefer adding some salt, but my husband likes it without additional salt, so it is healthier.

Loved it and Quite Easy!!!
The recipe says it is difficult but it was hardly difficult at all. I will try it again with more dark brown sugar and a reduced amount of spices......the tomatoes I have are very flavorful and don't need a lot of spices. Vitamix made it quite simple. Thank you

How long will it keep
If you don’t have the canning capabilities, how long will it keep in the fridge?
