KETCHUP LEATHER RECIPE BY TASTY
Did you say ketchup...leather? Yes, indeed. Squares of seasoned, dehydrated ketchup are sliced like cheese. When placed on a burger or breakfast sandwich, they melt like cheese, too! It might be the condiment upgrade you never knew you needed. Try it on meatloaf or any way you'd like!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180°F (82°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch (22x33 cm) baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, dried basil, and garlic powder.
- Transfer the ketchup mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer.
- Bake for 3 hours, or until the ketchup is dehydrated with no shiny spots. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Run a knife around the edges of the ketchup leather to loosen from the baking dish. Lift up a corner of the ketchup leather and slowly peel from the bottom of the dish.
- Transfer to a cutting board. Cut the ketchup leather into 6 even squares, discarding any scraps.
- Serve as desired, such as on top of a burger or breakfast sandwich, or over meatloaf.
- Enjoy!

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.

KETCHUP
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.

Steps:
- Purée tomatoes with juice in a blender until smooth. 3Cook onion and garlic in oil with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add spices and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add tomato purée, tomato paste, brown sugar, and vinegar and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until very thick, 45 to 55 minutes (stir more frequently toward end of cooking to prevent scorching).
- Purée ketchup in blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Chill at least 2 hours (for flavors to develop).
Tips:
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the ketchup until smooth.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the ketchup leather from sticking.

- Allow the ketchup leather to cool completely before cutting it into strips or pieces.
- Store the ketchup leather in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
