Sweet Savory Homemade Ketchup Recipes

Steps:

Cook, uncover, at medium heat for 1 ½ hour or until it thicken; stir often. If too chunky, use an immersion blender.
• Pour the mixture into sterilized jars and sealed. Makes about 18 250ml jars.

• Pour ground tomatoes into slow cooker. Swirl 1/4 cup water in each emptied can and pour into slow cooker. Add sugar, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, celery salt, mustard powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and whole clove; whisk to combine.
• Cook on high, uncovered, until mixture is reduced by half and very thick, 10 to 12 hours. Stir every hour or so.
• Smooth the texture of the ketchup using an immersion blender, about 20 seconds.
