Homemade Tomato Ketchup

Date
Aug, 08, 2019

This time of year, the tomatoes are super sweet and since we grow lots of tomatoes on our homestead I make tomato ketchup that is magical. My secret is that I add a little rosehip powder to it because it gives it a fuller taste, but you can also make it without and its still good ketchup. 

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 pounds ripe tomatoes
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 1 tbsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rosehip powder(optional)

Add tomatoes, oil, onion, garlic, coriander, cloves and black pepper in a pot and cook on medium heat. The tomatoes should release some liquids but it if seems dry add just a tbsp of water to make sure it does not burn. 

Simmer for about 30 minutes. Mix tomatoes until smooth. Strain the ketchup and you want to make sure to use a fine strainer to make the ketchup as smooth as possible and remove the seeds that are very acidic. 

Discard the seeds and add the ketchup puree to a sauce pan and add vinegar and sugar. Bring to a simmer and reduce until you have a good ketchup consistency. Let it cool before pouring ketchup into clean glass bottles. Keep in fridge.

    This looks wonderful. Do you know if it can be canned, if so processing instructions?
