My family loves adding ketchup to different dishes. Both for meat and vegetables. And store-bought ketchup is not at all healthy, so we found an alternative - a simple recipe for making quick homemade ketchup, of which you can make almost half a kilogram in 40 minutes. I am sure you will like this recipe, and you, like my family, will refuse harmful store-bought and expensive ketchup.

Ingredients:

  • pureed tomatoes - 450 grams;
  • water - 150-200 grams;
  • onion - 50 grams;
  • garlic - 2 cloves;
  • sugar - 80 grams or to taste;
  • lemon juice - 20 grams or to taste;
  • salt - 3 grams or to taste;
  • cinnamon - a pinch;
  • cloves - 2-3 pieces;
  • black pepper - 8-10 pieces;
  • allspice - 4-5 pieces.

Quick homemade ketchup. Step-by-step preparation

  1. Take a saucepan with a thick bottom and put the grated tomatoes into it. You can grind tomatoes using a food processor or juicer. You can use a blender to break the tomatoes into porridge and strain through a sieve. If there are no tomatoes, you can use tomato juice or tomato paste.
  2. If you use tomato paste or pureed tomatoes, you need to dilute them with water to the consistency of tomato juice.
  3. Now you need to prepare the onions and garlic. Peel the onion. If you do not cut off the dry tail, the onion will not sting your eyes. You need to cut it into small pieces. To do this, cut it in half, then cut the half in half again, then divide them into long parts, and these parts into small squares.
  4. It will be easier to peel garlic if you put it on a board, take a wide knife, and press the clove with the side of the knife. It will be crushed, cut off the top and easily remove the husk. You also need to cut the garlic into cubes. To do this, cut it into four parts and make cubes from them.
  5. Pour the onion and garlic into the pan with the tomato.
  6. Now add cloves, literally a couple of sprigs, allspice and black peppercorns to the tomato mixture. In addition to these spices, you can add others that you like best or, conversely, add nothing.
  7. Mix the future ketchup thoroughly.
  8. Now turn on the stove and place a saucepan on it so that the mass heats up and boils. You need to cook, stirring occasionally, until the ketchup becomes thick. This usually takes 20-25 minutes.
  9. Pour lemon juice into the thickened mass or, if you don’t have it, you can use 6% or 9% vinegar. You can change the quantity. If you like it sour, add more.
  10. Add a pinch of cinnamon, salt and sugar to the pan. Here, too, you can rely on your taste preferences and change the quantity.
  11. Don't forget to mix well.
  12. Continue cooking for two to three minutes, stirring the mixture occasionally.
  13. Now take an empty container and a sieve. You need to wipe the ketchup to remove pepper, cloves, etc. To do this, put the ketchup in a sieve and rub it with a spoon so that the clean mass ends up in the pan, and everything that is not needed is in the sieve. If you don't want to bother with this, you can do it differently. When you cook ketchup with spices, you can put them in a small gauze bundle, and then just pull them out and throw them away, so you don’t have to grind them.
  14. The finished ketchup should be transferred to a sterilized jar. Sterilization of jars varies, but this, of course, can be done at home. The first method of sterilization is to hold the jar over steam. Boil water, place a wire rack on the pan and a clean jar, washed with soda, on top. Hold it like this for a few minutes and remove it. Just make sure the jar is dry before adding ketchup. You can also sterilize it in the microwave. To do this, pour about 2 centimeters of water into the jar and put it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes at a power of 800-900 watts. And the lid for the jar needs to be boiled.
  15. Place the ketchup in a jar and screw it up. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. You can also use this ketchup for the winter. To do this, after grinding it through a sieve, boil it again for about 3-5 minutes and pour the boiling ketchup into sterilized jars.

The process of making homemade ketchup

We carefully wash each tomato, no sand or dirt should remain on the fruit, cut out the tail area and cut each vegetable in half or into 4 parts.

We clean the bell pepper from seeds and internal veins, chop it coarsely and place it in a bowl with tomatoes.

We peel the onion, rinse it under cold water, so this product will cut into the eyes less when cut, and chop it into half rings. We send to the available ingredients.

Pass the peeled garlic through a garlic press or finely grate it and add to the vegetables.

Transfer the prepared ingredients into a saucepan, add salt, mix, cover and move to the stove, setting the heat level to minimum. Cook the ketchup for about three hours, but no less than two and a half, periodically opening the container and stirring the composition.

Water should not be added to the pan; only the above products should be present during cooking. At the same time, the mass will decrease in volume by about half during cooking, this is how it should be.

While the tomato mixture is cooking, prepare the spices. They need to be combined and ground in a coffee grinder into a homogeneous mass.

Cool the finished vegetables a little and then use an immersion blender to grind them into a homogeneous consistency.

Season the paste with ground spices, mix, put it back on the fire and now cook for no more than half an hour.

5 minutes before the end of cooking, pour in the vinegar, mix the mixture thoroughly again and you can turn off the stove.

Pour hot tomato ketchup into jars sterilized in any way directly from the fire. We cover with lids, screw them on, turn the jars upside down, cover all the resulting beauty with a blanket and leave for exactly a day, no less.

All is ready! Delicious homemade Heinz ketchup can be eaten immediately after cooling. You can store it in a cool place and take it out as needed.

You can serve this kind of vinegar not only with sausage and meat products, but also use it when cooking cabbage soup, borscht, stewing vegetables, etc.

This is a simple and inexpensive way to make a delicious sauce.

To prepare we take:

  • 2.5 kg. tomatoes.
  • 350 gr. sweet and sour variety of any apples.
  • 350 gr. classic onions (you can use salad onions if you wish, but regular ones are better).
  • A tablespoon of coarse salt.
  • Half a glass of sugar.
  • A level teaspoon of a mixture of ground peppers.
  • 4 cloves.
  • 140 ml. apple cider vinegar (6%).
  • Half a teaspoon of cinnamon.

How to make delicious tomato paste for the winter

Wash the vegetables and apples, cut out the stem from the former, remove the cores from the latter, cut the products into medium-sized pieces - slices.

There is no need to peel the apples, it will allow you to create the desired consistency, since it contains a natural thickener pectin, but tomatoes can be peeled if desired, but this is not necessary.

Place all the ingredients of the sauce into a blender bowl or deep bowl/pan and grind into a homogeneous paste.

If you don’t have a food processor or blender at home, you can grind the tomatoes and apples in a meat grinder, but in this case it’s best to pass the products through calico again.

Place the resulting composition in a cauldron, saucepan or deep frying pan, put on fire, and let it boil. Cover with a lid and simmer, stirring, for fifteen minutes.

Salt the mixture and continue cooking for another hour and a half. If after the specified time the mixture is still liquid, remove the lid and cook until the mixture thickens.

Now pour the spices and sugar into the container; the cloves will need to be ground into powder first. Pour in vinegar and mix ingredients.

Cover with a lid and leave to stand on the stove for 5 minutes, then remove and pour into prepared jars.

Close the ketchup for the winter, but remember that the jars must be filled to capacity; there should be no empty spaces left in it.

Turn the rolled containers over and leave to cool under a warm blanket overnight. In the morning the sauce will be ready and can be stored in the refrigerator or pantry.

Homemade natural ketchup for every taste - a selection of super recipes

As children, we ate it almost in jars - with bread, until we got heartburn, how delicious it is! And then ketchup appeared - oh, this is bliss... You could eat literally anything with it.

There is only one way out - to make ketchup yourself. This is the only way you will know exactly what is in your ketchup, and you will prepare it to your own taste.

It is difficult to find the perfect ketchup in stores that meets the preferences of gourmets. Some people don’t like the sour taste, others don’t like the “chemical” smell of smoke in the “Kebab” sauce. A dressing with a lot of thickeners, stabilizers, and preservatives can also hardly be called healthy. It’s easier to make the sauce to your taste, using only proven ingredients and spices.

Reviews: “We take a little bit of all the seasonings”

On the contrary, we only eat homemade ketchup. But my grandmother prepares it for the whole family, because she doesn’t trust store-bought ones. And in general, it’s full of all sorts of “food”, chemicals, additives, preservatives. And at home there are only natural products. True, this is the first time I’ve heard that ketchup can be prepared with apples... It seems to me that we have a more traditional method of preparation. You need, of course, tomatoes, sugar, black peppercorns, salt, vinegar, cloves and cinnamon. We take all the seasonings little by little so that the ketchup does not have a pronounced taste of one thing. Chop the tomatoes and onions, simmer in a saucepan with vegetable oil, and when they become completely soft, remove from the heat and grind or knead well. Then put it back into the pan and bring to a boil. After this, add spices, cook for about half an hour and add salt, sugar and vinegar. Cook with them for another 5 minutes. After this, the ketchup is ready, but it’s better to let it brew. The next day it will be just right!

Nastya, http://www.divomix.com/forum/recept-domashnego-ketchupa-na-zimu/

I found the recipe on one of the forums. Children love ketchup very much, but I don’t buy it, no matter what they get from the store. So I prepared my own, it turned out to be 2 liter bottles. It was eaten in two days. I plan to do a lot next year.
4.5 kg tomatoes - through a meat grinder 1 cup sugar 1 tbsp. l. Salt 13 tbsp. 9% vinegar
a few black peppercorns on the tip of a knife ground red pepper
Place all this in a saucepan, cook according to the original recipe for 2 hours. I cooked it more, I wanted it thicker. Well, at the end, as always, I try... suddenly I’m in the mood to add something.
