Ketchup. A favorite on burgers, fries, and eggs, it’s probably the most popular condiment on the market.
But did you know, it’s also extremely easier to make?!
Yup, you can make your own clean, healthy version at home with simple ingredients you likely have around the house.
All you need is about 5 minutes, a bowl, wooden spoon, a container for your ketchup and the ingredients (shown below).
To show you just how easy and quick it is, I filmed myself making the ketchup. Check out the video below for how you can make homemade ketchup in under 5 minutes!
Ingredients:
6 oz tomato paste
1/3 cup water
2 Tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp dry mustard
pinch of sea salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of cloves
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup honey (or sucanat)
Mix all together. Chill and enjoy!

It only says “1/3 honey”. It doesn’t say the measurement. Could you help me with that?
Pierson,
So sorry about that! I forgot to put “cup”… it’s 1/3 cup honey. Thanks for pointing it out. I’ve fixed it in the post.
Enjoy!

how long does this last for in the fridge?
Cecilia,
It lasts at least 4 weeks. Ours is done by 3-4 weeks, so
I haven’t had it go longer than that, but I imagine it will last quite a
bit longer.
Enjoy!

My burger and my eggs usually needs ketchup. I might need to try this
one soon. You say this is not a processed ketchup but you used tomato
paste, isn’t that processed already? Or did you make your own tomato
paste too?
Hi!
I do use tomato paste from a can, which I guess is
“processed”, but it’s still a basic ingredient and there’s no additives.
I try to get a low-sodium kind.

My hubs also got huffy when I didn’t buy organic paste….. he’s a food snob! p.s. Allspice is not listed in your recipe. FYI Thanks for this recipe!
Lisie, Thanks, I’ve added the Allspice :)

I would suggest starting with 1Tbsp of Honey, and adding to taste. Perhaps I had sweeter tomato-paste to begin with, but 1/3 Cup seemed very sweet to me. Bonus: fewer calories!
Good call! Less honey probably wouldn’t affect the tatse that much. Thanks for the suggestion!
I love it on our homemade fries,,,,
Yum!! What’s your fry recipe?
Made this twice! I loved it both times. 1st time I followed the recipe to a T. 2nd time a little less honey, a pinch of garlic and onion powder. I think it did need the garlic and onion powder. Thank you for sharing. :)
Shawnee, happy to hear!! I’ll have to try with less honey next time.
