Homemade tomato paste ketchup

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make homemade ketchup from tomato paste? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose high-quality tomato paste. The overall taste of the sauce will depend on it. Peel the onions and cut into large pieces. Also peel the garlic clove and grate it on a fine grater. Place everything into a blender bowl.

2. STEP 2

   

   These ingredients now need to be crushed to the most homogeneous consistency, one might say puree. If desired, you can add chopped fresh herbs at this stage. I won't add it just because I don't like the look of it in finished ketchup.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the tomato paste and onion-garlic puree into a suitable saucepan or thick-walled saucepan and fill with filtered water. Stir and place over medium heat. Onion, crushed into puree, during cooking will completely cease to be felt in the finished ketchup.

4. STEP 4

   

   When the tomato mass boils, add salt and granulated sugar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add seasonings: bay leaf, allspice and cloves. Remember the number of peas you added, because at the end of cooking they will all have to be removed so that the spices do not get caught in the finished ketchup.

6. STEP 6

   

   Next add paprika. I use a heaping teaspoon because I love it so much. You are guided by your taste. Paprika will give the finished ketchup a pleasant flavor. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and reduce heat to low. After boiling, the ketchup should cook for about half an hour. Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from burning.

7. STEP 7

   

   As soon as the ketchup thickens enough and you are satisfied with its consistency, I advise you to try it to understand whether there is enough of it, or whether there is a need for additional salt, for example. If everything is satisfactory, remove it from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to remove all seasonings; they will no longer be needed. Homemade tomato paste ketchup is ready. Bon appetit!

Wonderful recipe! Homemade tomato paste ketchup tastes similar to store-bought ketchup, but much tastier. Of course, because homemade ketchup is a natural, home-made product. Ketchup can be prepared quickly and from available products that everyone has in their kitchen. Using this recipe, you can save on buying ketchup and save time on going to the store, as it happened in my case. And enjoying your own natural product without harmful additives is much better.
