1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Peel and chop the tomatoes. If using canned tomatoes, drain excess liquid.
2
Cook the Mixture
In a saucepan, combine the chopped tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, sugar, vinegar, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cinnamon.
3
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Blend
Once the mixture has thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Then blend until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
5
Strain (Optional)
If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the ketchup through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids.
6
Store
Transfer the ketchup to a clean jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator. Use within two weeks.
