1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and any blemishes. Cut the tomatoes into quarters.
2
Chop the Onion and Garlic
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Set aside.

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.
4
Blend the Mixture
Use an immersion blender or transfer the cooked tomatoes to a blender. Blend until smooth.
5
Strain the Mixture
If you prefer a smoother ketchup, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and skins.
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.
7
Simmer the Ketchup
Simmer the mixture on low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
8
Season to Taste
Taste the ketchup and adjust the seasoning with hot sauce and black pepper as desired.

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.
