Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash the tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and any blemishes. Cut the tomatoes into quarters.

  2. 2

    Chop the Onion and Garlic

    Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Tomatoes

    In a large pot, add the quartered tomatoes and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

  2. 4

    Blend the Mixture

    Use an immersion blender or transfer the cooked tomatoes to a blender. Blend until smooth.

  3. 5

    Strain the Mixture

    If you prefer a smoother ketchup, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and skins.

  4. 6

    Add Ingredients

    Return the strained tomato mixture to the pot. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, sugar, vinegar, and spices. Stir to combine.

  5. 7

    Simmer the Ketchup

    Simmer the mixture on low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

  6. 8

    Season to Taste

    Taste the ketchup and adjust the seasoning with hot sauce and black pepper as desired.

Storage

  1. 9

    Cool and Store

    Allow the ketchup to cool to room temperature. Transfer to sterilized jars or bottles and refrigerate. Use within 2-3 weeks.
