Ingredients
- 2 6-ounce cans of tomato paste
- 12 ounces filtered water
- 6 tbs apple cider or white vinegar
- 6 tbs honey
- 1 tbs coconut sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
Directions
- Empty the tomato paste out into a medium saucepan.
- Adding a few tbs of water at a time, blending completely with the tomato paste before adding any more water. This will make it easier
- Add the rest of the ingredients once all the water is blended completely with the tomato paste, and stir until smooth.
- Put the saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat, keeping it a simmer, and cook for 10-20 minutes, stirring frequently. Watch for splattering, it’s virtually unavoidable, but try to keep the simmer as low as you can to avoid a big mess.
- Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature.
- Once cool, pour into a jar or bottle, cover, and keep in the refrigerator.
- For a very easy fermented version, before refrigerating, stir in a few tablespoons of whey. Then, cover and let culture at room temperature for 12-24 hours before refrigerating.
That’s it! Enjoy your delicious homemade ketchup on french fries and burgers or any other way in which you use ketchup.
