Homemade Ketchup
I have homemade staples on my mind a lot lately.
As I write this it is difficult to obtain groceries. And many people, including me have to order them for pick up or delivery.
There are many items that aren’t available or rationed. I am finding pantry and baking items as well as basic condiments impossible to find.
Looking up how to make the items at home is getting more important everyday.
I don’t give up my “habits” easily.
Ketchup is just one of them. (Coffee creamer is next. Using milk or even drinking it black makes me want top give it up. And that isn’t happening!)
This Ketchup recipe uses a few spices you may or not have at home.
These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
- 12 oz Tomato Paste
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbs onion powder
- 1 tbs garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp Allspice
- 1/8 tsp Ground Cloves
- 1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- Combine all ingredients and stir until blended.
- Transfer to sealed container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
I found though that they are in my spice rack. I think a few of these came with the rack itself.
This recipe is quite adaptable depending on your own tastes.
Don’t be put off with the list of ingredients. Be creative! And since ketchup can be added to many different recipes experimentation can be a good thing.
You can whip this ketchup, literally, in a minute or two. The only caveat is you need to refrigerate it for a few hours.

Marilyn, thanks for sharing with Encouraging Hearts and Home, pinned!
Thank you Melynda for hosting! Enjoy your week.
I had no idea how to make this, love learning. Thanks for sharing.
I love to research these too. I am trying to make my own staples. They are so much healthier! Enjoy.
I made ketchup one year when my garden produced a surplus of tomatoes. I don’t usually like ketchup but homemade is great! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. Have a wonderful week.
Homemade condiments are so much better than store bought. I like too adjust the ingredients to my own tastes. Thanks Helen and have a good week!
Wow! This looks perfect! Really must try making my own… Bookmarked and pinned! x
Thank you Kate. I have enjoyed making my own condiments. No preservatives or chemicals and I can control the ingredients. Thank you for the pin! Enjoy the rest of your week!
I just pinned and printed this recipe. I want to make my own ketchup so I can control the sugar.
Have a delicious week,
Kippi
Thank you Kippi for the pin. I have started learning to make some of my own condiments for the same reason. I need to control what is in them. I am glad you found it useful!! Happy Mothers Day and enjoy the week!
Yes you can skip them. They just add a heat and a kick. Without them the recipe is a bit sweeter tasting. Play with the amounts of brown sugar. But not too much. It all depends on your taste! I am glad you like the recipe! I also use it on my meatloaf. Enjoy.
I have everything except the worcestershire sauce and the cayenne pepper. I wonder if you could make it without them? I use ketchup when making meatloaf and on my foods. I will give this a try sometime. Thanks for the recipe!
