How Do You Make Ketchup From Tomato Paste?
Making your own ketchup isn’t that hard to do; it is very easy to make at home. You don’t have to start from scratch either, but can start from some canned tomato paste, salt, vinegar, and a few spices. You may even have some fun adjusting the spices, creating your own special “blend” of ketchup. You can also use this ketchup recipe to create a low carb (low sugar) version of ketchup, just by substituting sweetener in place of the sugar. This would be great for those trying to cut down on carbohydrates. By making your own ketchup you also can avoid the preservatives found in manufactured foods. Step 1 Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl. You may adjust spices to your taste. (Some prefer a “spicier” ketchup.) Step 2 If the mixture is too thick, add more water until the ketchup reaches the consistency you prefer. Step 3 Cover and refrigerate. Since this ketchup doesn’t have preservatives, it should be used up within a month.
