Healthy Homemade Ketchup <\/em><\/strong>Recipe<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
This Healthy Homemade Ketchup recipe is actually simple, natural, and even fun to prepare! If you\u2019re looking for what to make with your garden tomatoes or fresh tomatoes from a farmers\u2019 market \u2013 this ketchup recipe is a must-try!<\/p>\n
For sure, store-bought ketchup is easier, but with this recipe, you can have healthy, homemade, sugar-free ketchup made with fresh tomatoes, apples, and flavorful spices.<\/p>\n
This homemade ketchup is naturally sweetened from ripe tomatoes and apples \u2013 these fruits are pretty sweet on their own. So, when you\u2019re simmering the ketchup to reduce the liquid and get a thick consistency, the fruits contribute all their sweetness.<\/p>\n
The spices used in this recipe give the ketchup special flavor and a touch of warmth, but obviously, you can omit some of them or experiment with your favorites.<\/p>\n

How to Thicken Homemade Ketchup<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Some people recommend thickening ketchup with cornstarch. But in this recipe, you don\u2019t need to use any thickening products. All you need to do is just put the ingredients in a pot and cook them down on low heat until most of the liquid is reduced and you’ve got the consistency you want. I like the \u201cporridge-like” consistency.<\/p>\n
How Long Can Homemade Ketchup Last<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
This is a great canned ketchup recipe, so you can make it now when fresh tomatoes are in season and enjoy it all winter long. When properly canned, the ketchup will keep for at least 6-7 months at room temp. I usually keep my canned stuff in my basement where the temperature is cooler. Once you open a jar of homemade canned ketchup, keep it refrigerated for up to a month.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re making this ketchup recipe to use right away, transfer the ketchup to a glass jar or container and keep it in a fridge for 3 weeks.<\/p>\n

What to Add to Homemade Ketchup<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
This ketchup is perfectly spiced, balanced with sweetness, saltiness, with the right amount of sour from the vinegar. However, you can always customize the flavor any way you like with add-ins:<\/p>\n
Honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar<\/strong> (natural sweeteners) \u2013 for more sweetness;<\/p>\n
Chili powder, cayenne pepper, or sriracha<\/strong> \u2013 for a little heat;<\/p>\n
Smoked paprika<\/strong> – for delicate smoky flavor.<\/p>\n

Ingredients for Healthy Homemade Ketchup<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
6 – 7 lb (or 3kg) ripe tomatoes (or ~ 5 \u00bd lb cored and peeled)<\/li>\n
4-5 large apples (or ~ 1 lb cored and peeled)<\/li>\n
1 \u00bd teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
1 \u00bd teaspoon ground black pepper<\/li>\n
1 \u00bd teaspoon ground coriander<\/li>\n
1 \u00bd teaspoon Italian seasonings<\/li>\n
1 \u00bd teaspoon paprika<\/li>\n
1 \u00bd teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n
1 \u00bd teaspoon onion powder<\/li>\n
\u00bd teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/li>\n
\u00bc teaspoon ground cloves<\/li>\n
\u00bc teaspoon ground nutmeg<\/li>\n
5 tablespoons (50ml) white wine vinegar $\"Healthy$ <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Make Healthy Homemade Ketchup<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
In a 5-quart pot boil about 3-4 quarts of water over high heat. Slice a shallow \u201cX\u201d on top of each tomato. Working in batches, drop the tomatoes in the hot water for 1 minute or so. Using a slotted spoon, lift the tomatoes out and place them on a cutting board. Let tomatoes cool and then peel off the skins using your hands. Discard the water from the pot. $\"Healthy$ <\/li>\n
Roughly chop the tomatoes, core, and transfer them to the same 5-quart pot. $\"Healthy$ <\/li>\n
Peel the apples, remove cores and roughly chop. Place them in the pot with tomatoes. Add in salt, black pepper, ground coriander, Italian seasonings, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg. Stir well. $\"Healthy$ $\"Healthy$ <\/li>\n
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is reduced and the sauce reaches the consistency you like. This will take about 2 – 3 hours but could take longer if there’s a lot of liquid in the ketchup mixture. $\"Healthy$ <\/li>\n
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Then using a hand blender, food processor, or countertop blender blend the ketchup mixture into a smooth puree. $\"Healthy$ <\/li>\n
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer using a spoon or spatula to press the mixture through the strainer into a clean large bowl. Discard anything leftover in the strainer. $\"Healthy$ <\/li>\n
Return the ketchup back to the pot and add the vinegar. Stir well and simmer again, stirring carefully for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. $\"Healthy$ <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Refrigerator or Freezer storage:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Let the ketchup cool to room temperature then pour into jars. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.<\/li>\n
If you want to freeze your sauce, pour it into freezer-friendly containers or bags and freeze for up to 4 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Canning storage:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Sterilize clean glass jars and lids: Wash them and place them in the oven. Adjust the temperature to 350\u02daF and heat the jars with lids for 20-25 min. Turn off the oven and leave the jars with lids in to keep them hot.<\/li>\n
Carefully pour the hot ketchup into hot or very warm jars. Top with the sterilized lids and screw on the rings. Let cool and store the jars with ketchup in a cool, dark place like a pantry for at least 6-7 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
