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.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up well to the toppings and prevent the toast from becoming soggy.
- Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes will have a sweeter and more flavorful taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan or they will steam instead of sautéing.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Use good quality ketchup: The better the ketchup, the better the ketchup toast will be. Look for a ketchup that is made with real tomatoes and spices.
Conclusion:
Ketchup toast is a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
