His first remark was he could taste the vinegar. I wasn't sure if that was good or not. He did say it was good and even better than store bought. So that is a recipe to keep.
It uses tomato paste which is cheap and spices that you have around the house except I had whole allspice and not ground so I skipped that. I might add a bit of garlic powder or onion powder but it has no high fructose corn syrup.
Here is a fun ketchup fact. Do you know that the word is based on a Chinese word. Ketchup is from Cantonese and Catsup is from a bit of a Malay Chinese word. So I think it is fitting that living here I would make ketchup.

We use a ton of ketchup, so I'd love to try that. Hubby man is ketchup snob (Heinz only), so it will have to be good to satisfy him. I'm off to check it out now.
I am not dealing with a ketchup snob. I wonder if you would want to decrease the vinegar so that it doesn't have such a strong vinegar taste. Also look at the Heinz ingredients and see if you should add anything else.
J loves his ketchup, and his mustard, and his relish and his mayonnaise. I'd have to make a LOT of ketchup if I made it myself.
It was very easy and I decided that next time I would make a double recipe.
I know I have gotten to where I would rather make it than buy it. I am strange in that way.
