For the month of February, I gave myself a challenge: Don't buy any groceries except dairy products for the entire month.
And then, within just a few days...I had run out of ketchup and I was cursing myself for being so dumb. WHAT was I thinking?
Then, I realized that trying out homemade ketchup has been on my to-do for a very long time and I just had never gotten around to it. Now seemed the perfect time since it was either go without for an entire month or get it done.
I got it done.
And then Matt tasted it.
And now I will probably have to 'get it done' for the rest of my days.
This is a winning recipe...tastes delicious. Lacks the high fructose corn syrup. Whips up in about five minutes or less. Uses simple ingredients that you likely already have in your cupboard.
Makes about 1 1/2 pints.
I give you~

I love this, and will have to try it! Have already made home made mayo, cause of the cost...so now I can make ketchup as well! Thanks!

Oh wow! thank you for posting this recipe! I got a link off of another blog and this recipe came at the perfect time. I just discovered that I need ketchup for a recipe tomorrow, but won't have enough. I will be on unpaid leave soon, and am a single Mom. I've slashed my budget for the 4 of us to $200/mo, and we're eating down the pantry/freezer. I had everything on hand to mix up this ketchup. I am set for tomorrow, and don't have to hit the store (actually, I'd have to ask someone to go as I can't drive as I am recovering from surgery)

Your kitchen is cool! I think I see a pantry off to the back? I like the wood floors and how this is not one of those all-modern, all-white, expensive kitchens!
