Steps:
- Place the tomatoes, onions, bell pepper and garlic in a large pot.
- Bring to boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are very soft, about 30 minutes.
- Pass through the finest blade of a food mill to make a semi-smooth puree. Alternatively, puree in the blender until smooth and pass through a fine strainer. Place the puree back in the cleaned soup pot.
- Place the peppercorns, mustard seeds, allspice berries, cloves, celery seeds, ginger, cinnamon stick and bay leaves on a piece of cheesecloth and tie it up to form a bag.
- Add to the tomatoes, along with the brown sugar, paprika, mace, cider vinegar, salt and cayenne.
- Simmer slowly, stirring frequently, until the ketchup is very thick, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the cheesecloth bag and discard.
- Ketchup can be cooled and stored in a sealed plastic container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
- Alternatively, you can put ketchup in sterilized jars. To do so, first wash the jars in hot, soapy water. Rinse well. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 4 pint jars and lids and boil 1 minute. Remove with tongs and drain.
- While the ketchup is still hot, pour it into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headroom. Seal and place in boiling water bath for 12 minutes. Remove and cool.
ROASTED TOMATO KETCHUP
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, toss the tomatoes in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast until soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the tomatoes to a food processor and process until smooth. Strain, pressing against the solids with a wooden spoon to extract as much pulp and juice as possible.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until almost smoking, and saute the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the tomato puree, cider vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and honey, and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 20 minutes. May be refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days.

Steps:
- Place all the vegetables in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan with a big splash of olive oil and the ginger, garlic, chili, basil stalks, coriander seeds and cloves. Season with the pepper and a good pinch of salt.
- Cook gently over a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until softened, stirring every so often. Add all the tomatoes and 1 1/2 cups of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer gently until the sauce reduces by half.
- Add the basil leaves, then whiz the sauce in a food processor or with a hand blender and push it through a sieve twice, to make it smooth and shiny. Put the sauce into a clean pan and add the vinegar and the sugar. Place the sauce on the heat and simmer until it reduces and thickens to the consistency of tomato ketchup. At this point, correct the seasoning to taste.
- Spoon the ketchup through a sterilized funnel into sterilized bottles, then seal tightly and place in a cool dark place or the refrigerator until needed - it should keep for 6 months.
HOMEMADE KETCHUP
This ketchup does come close to those name brands in terms of taste, texture and color. I've never had a tomato paste-based ketchup that I liked, so I decided to cook down crushed tomatoes instead. By using the slow cooker, we take most of the labor out of the process.

TOMATO KETCHUP
Steps:
- Place the tomatoes, onions and garlic in a heavy, nonaluminum pot, cover and slowly bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove the lid, stir, and continue cooking for about 45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are very soft.
- Remove the pot from the heat, and pass the mixture through a food mill or strainer, discarding the seeds and skin. Return the liquid to the pot, stir in the sugar, paprika and mace, and slowly cook over medium heat for about one hour, or until the volume is reduced by half. Stir frequently, and as the sauce thickens, adjust the heat down.
- While the sauce is cooking, place the vinegar, peppercorns, cinnamon, mustard seed, cloves and chili pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer slowly.
- Once the ketchup has thickened, strain the seasoned vinegar into it, stirring to mix well, and continue cooking for another 45 minutes. Allow the ketchup to cool, pour it into sterilized jars and store in the refrigerator for three to four months. Or pour it into sterilized jars, leaving a half-inch space at the top, cover with preserving lids and process in boiling water for 20 minutes.

It's the only ketchup recipe that I've ever had that stood up even close to as good as popular brands! It's different, but it's REALLY good! It's important to reduce this for a long time, like 4 hours or so. It will thicken just a bit as it cools.

TOMATO KETCHUP
The quality of your ingredients counts for a lot here. Don't bother making ketchup until you can get luscious, ripe tomatoes. Grape tomatoes work, but feel free to use plum tomatoes instead. You want a meaty tomato for this, so save delicate heirlooms for salads. Many ketchup recipes call for loads of spices, but this one is kept simple with just a little black pepper and Worcestershire sauce for complexity - a close approximation to that inimitable flavor of classic Heinz, without the high-fructose corn syrup.

Tips:
- Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your ketchup. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes with a deep red color and a firm texture.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: For a more complex flavor, use a mix of different types of tomatoes, such as Roma, beefsteak, and cherry tomatoes.
- Roast the tomatoes before cooking: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and adds a smoky depth to the ketchup.
- Add aromatics and spices: Feel free to experiment with different aromatics and spices to create a unique flavor profile for your ketchup. Common additions include garlic, onion, celery, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Simmer the ketchup for a long time: Simmering the ketchup for a long time helps to develop its flavor and thicken it to the desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed: Once the ketchup has simmered, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, sugar, or vinegar to balance the flavors.
- Can or bottle the ketchup for long-term storage: If you want to store your ketchup for longer than a few weeks, you can either can it or bottle it. Canning is a more involved process, but it allows you to store the ketchup for up to a year. Bottling is a simpler process, but the ketchup will only last for a few months.
Conclusion:
Fresh tomato ketchup is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of foods. It is also a great way to use up extra tomatoes from your garden. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own fresh tomato ketchup at home. So next time you have a craving for ketchup, skip the store-bought stuff and make your own!
