Tomato ketchup is unquestionably one of the most famous and versatile sauces in the world. Tomato ketchup, or tomato sauce as it is known in many different areas of the world, is popular with people of all ages. Nearly anything pairs well with ketchup, and it is delicious!

Tomato ketchup is a sauce with a sweet and sour flavor that is prepared with tomato paste, seasoning, and spices. I prefer to prepare this homemade ketchup with simple, basic ingredients. Onion powder, garlic powder, celery, salt, and cayenne are my favorite seasonings and spices. Both vinegar and apple cider vinegar are acceptable, but I have used lemon juice.

I prefer tomato paste. In some recipes, canned tomatoes are used to make homemade ketchup. Some people use fresh tomatoes. Although it requires a little more work, it’s worthwhile. Nothing compares to the flavor and fresh taste of fresh tomato sauce.

Homemade ketchup is a favorite in my household. We adore ketchup with hamburgers, French fries, and so many other foods. Try this recipe if you’ve never attempted to make ketchup at home. You won’t ever want to buy store-bought ketchup again, I guarantee!
