My wife is a diehard Heinz ketchup woman. I would never try to substitute another brand to see if she would notice...especially after the last (and only) time I did that. So when my wife tasted your ketchup recipe and said it was not only really good but, "I think it's better than Heinz"....well, what better compliment could I have hoped for? Thanks Chef!

Tony Samson ketchup has its place. its sweet and tangy and goes very well with salty and hot carb-rich things like french fries and corn dogs.

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

There are a couple of really good reasons to make your own ketchup. 1. If you grow your own tomatoes and have a surplus you can make a year's supply at one time. This is really the only way to save money by making your own ketchup. 2. If you are diabetic and love ketchup, but cannot handle the sugar in regular ketchup. I made and canned 14 pints of ketchup last June and have used most of it up. It is SOOO much better than store bought ketchup and has no added sugar.

[@kurapikakurta3863]

so these stores really well then? How do you store them?

[@luiscastilloful]

"i made and canned 14 pints" im gonna guess she cans them

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

Yes. You have to water bath t for shelf storage.

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

I used the Mrs. WAges mix last time and it was great. I sweetened it with Splenda. You can find the mix on Amazon. nchfp.uga.edu also has a recipe totally from scratch wich is also good. The Mrs. Wages mix is just a spice packet and the flavor is really good.

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

Another reason: you can’t have onion and every $@@#* ketchup in the store is full of onion. Also, you can just use tomato paste and thin it out a bit.

[@lesnyk255]

I used to make ketchup for a girlfriend with severe food allergies - nuts, soy, wheat, and (of all things) corn products. (I also baked for her, before gluten-free became "a thing".) I actually found a recipe online posted either by Hunts or Heinz that I tinkered until it met her nutritional requirements and the taste test. It was several years ago and I've forgotten most of the details (she's since succumbed to one of the allergies), but I remember that using honey as the sweetener seemed to give the ketchup a little more body.

One of my work colleagues grew way too many tomatoes two years ago and made ketchup with them. He used honey and treacle and fresh wild garlic and apple cider vinegar, and that ketchup was amazing.

[@allianceofsteel]

I went looking for my recipe and I found it.... here you go if you all want to try it, it's not nearly as hard as its made out to be.. 120 oz., or roughly 15 cups of tomatoes 3.5 cup of vinegar (16% to 30% of tomato amount is vinegar varies per recipe) 3 cloves garlic chopped 3 cup of brown sugar (sugar is almost always equal to vinegar amount) 2 cups of onions chopped to fit in a blender 1 tsp. dry mustard 1 green pepper 1 tsp. of black pepper 3 tbsp. of kosher salt 2 tbsp. allspice 1.5 tbsp. dry mustard 1 tsp. of ground clove Save out half cup of vinegar for later cooking combine tomatoes and vinegar in a blender in stages, due to most blenders aren't large enough to accomodate all of the liquid at once, for example, put in half cup of vinegar fill with fresh tomatoes, blend until all chunks are blended up pour almost all of it into the saucepan, leaving just a little liquid in the blender for the next batch, add a little vinegar, blend, repeat until you reach 120 oz. (my blender is only 40 oz, so that was three times. Again leave some of the mix behind in the blender, slice up the green pepper, put into blender along with the onions chopped up, dice the cloves of garlic and also apply them to the mix. Pour the mix in the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook around thirty minutes then add the salt, pepper, all spice, mustard, and clove. Cook on a medium heat, making sure to stir the mix. After about an hour or so, add the last cup of vinegar to taste. Also in the last stage of cooking, add corn starch little by little until desired thickness is achieved, remember cooling with also cause it to thicken. enjoy

Thanks, chef John! I am a French's Ketchup fan. I like it's brighter tomato and slightly sharper flavor, and the oh so slightly higher spice level it has compared to the other majors. I've made a decent mustard and a very good mayo but I've never been able to make a homemade ketchup that beats the major brands. Tomatoes have the most amazing chemistry and what they do to make this stuff so consistently good is truly an art.

[@Hawaiianpizzaforever]

Well thanks for being so honest chef John - and thank you for finding the time to make something that even YOU don't recommend others to make. lol

[@thedragonflygirl77]

It's never crazy to make food yourself. Knowing what's in it is important. And if there's something you can't eat, you have the control to make it your way. And if you're growing your own food, this is a great way to use excess tomatoes. Not crazy! 🤪

I watch this show, not because I like to cook (I'm more into baking), but because Chef John is hilarious and I dig his voice.

[@roadsideprophet2012]

We have made our own ketchup basically like that for years. We use less sugar, slightly more clove, and it gives something different to do with tomatoes from the garden and one less thing to go to the store for. Being a teacher with summers off and plenty of time to do these projects helps too

[@CheeseCircus]

When I was a kid, my great aunt made ketchup. It was like an old canning recipe, though. Not sweet at all, but tart and vinegary. I loved it.

[@AmericanJusticeCorp]

If you use tomato paste, it cuts out the slow-cook and blending work, and can be prepared in about 15 Minutes. It may not taste as good as Chef John's this way but when I made it once this way it was delicious. Try adding some Curry Powder to the recipe in this video. Certainly no HFCS, and you can spice it as you like. That is the best advantage to doing it yourself. No HFCS, and you get to spice it as you like. With different spice combinations not available in the store-bought versions it tastes damn good, and can be made for at least a little less money, from ingredients you may typically keep on hand. I would make it again because I like the taste I got, and of course it it just goes damn good on a hamburger. Try it as a dip for veggies as well, like Romaine Lettuce.

[@jaimesk1688]

It will taste better, actually. With curry powder, water, onion, and vinegar, it will be the "curry-wurst" sauce they use in Germany on their "curry-wurst" dogs.

[@mothman-jz8ug]

I've heard of taste testing various ketchups, and I saw on on a tv program once where 10 - yes, TEN - different ones were tested. I was not at all surprised that the one coming in dead last, the one generally described as "slimy" and "too sweet" or ""taste nothing but sweet" was Heinz. When people found out what it was, they seemed genuinely surprised to learn that the one coming in in last place (unanimously!) was the top seller AND the one they usually purchase. I, on the other hand, fully expected it.

[@Itgyrl909]

Why make your own Ketchup? Because the FIRST ingredient in most store bought/well known Ketchup {& BBQ Sauce} brands is High Fructose Corn Syrup, not tomatoes as it should be. > Just check the label of the one you got at home.

[@manueldelbusto725]

yes you are eating ketchup flavoured fructose

[@Itgyrl909]

The majority of brands have High Fructose Corn Syrup or Corn Syrup as the main ingredient. If its listed as #3 on the back of your ketchup bottle then its still a main ingredient, just slightly less than tomato concentrate. Which brings me to the first ingredient you mentioned "Concentrate". Totally not a good ingredient btw.

[@animehbkscm]

The reason to not make it its that it takes 10-12 fucking hours, that shit destroys your bills...

[@DanMuggeo]

I'm diabetic so I need to make a low sugar version to make your new BBQ sauce recipe. I find you can sweeten tomato sauce without adding sugar by using baking soda to neutralize the acid in the tomato that makes it a little bitter. For ketchup you're still going to have to add some sweetener but I bet I can get away with a lot less and now it can be a more complex sugar like honey or maple syrup.

[@stokerboiler]

Congratulation! You got the recipe exactly right. Tastes just like the stuff made by the company in Pittsburgh. Even finicky little kids who eat ketchup on everything can't tell the difference. I made a gallon of sugar-free ketchup (substitute Splenda for sugar). Now I can make sugar-free barbecue sauce for months. While made mine for making barbecue sauce, I would not be ashamed to put in front of the most discerning french fry freaks.

[@been2all505]

Because of an intestinal condition, some people (like me) are on a lectin reduced diet (a plant protein abundant in tomato seeds and skins as well as other things that can irritate the intestinal lining). The Italian company, Pomi makes makes tomato sauce and chunks that has had the seeds and skins removed before cooking, thus lectin “free”. Also, for the same reason I use natural sweeteners such as Swerve instead of sugar. Otherwise, I agree, it would be a colossal waste of time. But I love ketchup. I’m not the only one who eats this way and that may be why you are getting some of the requests. Thanks, it was a good video. Humorous too.

Could you use fresh tomatoes from the garden instead of the can

[@EvilGenius124]

I assume you can, but you're gonna have to crush them down yourself. It's just way easier to use canned and avoid the messy process.

[@MrQuagmire26]

Actually good quality tinned tomatoes can be better than using fresh tomatoes for these purposes. For example, where I live the fresh tomatoes are usually sour and not very good quality, so choosing a good quality tomato from the can in most cases produces a richer, sweeter and better tomato flavour to dishes. Even a lot of master chefs prefer using canned tomatoes for sauces if they are not vine ripe.

[@aegonusstone3718]

Evil Genius But then again, why not avoid all those preservatives, stabilizers and what not they dump in those cans?

[@DeathMetal242]

MrQuagmire26 i have my my own tomatoes in my garden 7 different types, and they're way sweeter than any tomatoe i've ever bought, and since i have a lot of them i make ketchup out of some to store it longer.

[@meatmotor]

+Monique Silva If you use fresh tomatoes, put them in the pot whole. It sounds weird, but they'll quickly stew down even uncut. The reason is: Tomatoes contain an enzyme that makes the juice more watery, but heating to at least 180°F before rupturing the tomato kills the enzymes, resulting in a thicker ketchup.

(so you don't have to do like me and use rubber bands to secure the lid and a bunch of dishtowels tied around it to keep it warm on the way to the office)

Been there, done that. We used our abundance of garden grown tomatoes. Using the (hot water canned) method, we bottled everything we could think of. Making ketchup was a lesson in patience. A great advantage is the ability to create different flavors of ketchup... spicy, smoky, sweeter, dill, cinnamon, et al. Albeit, I'm thinking there's much more efficient ways, like maybe a pressure cooker. A great adv

I’m not a big fan of ketchup, mostly because I find it’s way too sweet. I like that I can adjust the recipe accordingly. Thanks!

[@melodycapehartmedina2264]

You are a hoot!! Yes, I'm one of the crazy one's because I do make my own and lots of it to can. But I must be blonde because I've spent many hours over the stove and never thought to use the Crock Pot!! You my good man just cut off a huge amount of standing in front of the stove time!! Thanks for the video!!

So far I go and make almost everything I watch Chef John make.... thanks a lot, chef.

Gonna try this with my white tomatoes from the garden, wonder how funky it'll look

[@jakeb1078]

The way you poured that beer broke my heart. But I still love the video.

As a culinary student at Le Cordon Bleu, I LOVE that you mentioned Cross-Contamination. You rock, Chef J!!

[@patricklemire9278]

I love this video. I made my own ketchup years ago and when I got done I realized I could spent time cooking anything else and it would have been more worth the time/effort.

My great-grandmother did this but in the 1930's. No slow cooker. Pressure cooker or stove top or open fire or the oven. She did that with apple butter. By the way she was born in Feb. 1,1908 and died Feb. 5, 1998. Made her 90th birthday.

If it wasn't so time consuming to be sure I'm sitting there stirring every hour, this might actually kind of a fun project to just try once. Kind of like a science experience. Its neat seeing how John makes these things.

I need to make my own as I am in renal failure and on dialysis. I love ketchup!

[@My-tz2yk]

For the first time in my life I saw the most hygienic thing in any food recipe video. You're just like me 😁 when I prepare for guests or even when alone, I taste the food with pouring from serving spoon to my table spoon unlike all big fat food channel hosts eating from same spoon and stirring it again with their saliva as an extra ingredient 🤮🤮

[@joshuag.4873]

I loveee 6-in1!!! Never seen anyone else use it!

[@MissD-xk1xb]

Liked this, 10 years later ❤

[@badjujuwan]

Makes sense considering he's not advocating we make it from scratch. I love Chef John - can't wait for him to get his own show on Cooking Channel or Create TV.

[@gabrieltoledano5560]

Aw chef loves me because I'm totally gonna make this

[@deninevh]

Oh yeah I'm going to give this a try. It's either in a plastic bottle, or it's not organic, or it has a sweetener I'd rather avoid. I can do this myself, and I will try it with agave syrup. So thank you for the video John, I'm one of the crazies!

[@incubus_the_man]

Finally, ketchup sans the fly larvae. Perfect!

[@violasmith3479]

This receipe doesnt serm labor intensive at all. A nice simple receipe. With it done in the crackpot what could be simplier on a Fall day. Thanks for the receipe, I will be trying this

[@gratefuldev23]

Great sense of humor, Chef!
