Hi Sarah, Just wanted to let you know... I made your ketchup and love it! However, cooking the tomatoes down in the Nesco 18 quart roaster, the tomatoes burned onto the sides of the roaster (maybe I had the heat too high?) and was impossible to clean off. The insert was ruined. I reached out to Nesco, and they graciously agreed to provide me with a new insert (under warranty), which was really really generous! They did tell me, however, that they DO NOT recommend cooking high acid foods like tomatoes (and she mentioned apple sauce) in their roasters because it breaks down the finish on the insert. I just thought I'd pass that on. She said they recommend only using stainless steel pots for cooking down tomatoes... I just didn't want anyone else to have my bad experience. :)

I love this. Our Heinz ketchup in UK is now £6.00 per kilo...crazy!! I dont know the conversion from pints to kilos but I guess 1 kilo is 2 pints.

[@kimberlygiacometti6041]

To reduce the extra water, I put my cooked mixture in a pitcher, refrigerate overnight. The 'water' part of the tomatoes stays on top. With the tomatoes on the bottom of the pitcher, it is easy enough to slowly drain the water. This really helps to evaporate the liquid.

[@mainetreelineruguess97]

Also, when you're processing your other tomatoes, dehydrate the peels. That is where the thickening seems to happen. I tried it when going for the 'zero waste' produce idea, and dehydrated the skins. Added the powdered skins to a beef stew and the flavor was over the top rich and the stew thickens each time I've used it. The only down side is, the Racoon Compost Raiders are a little miffed with the loss of goods.

Yes indeed there have been Ketchup recipes around as long as I can remember , and I am one of the people that really knows for sure ...For one , I am a HEINZ LOVER , but I know first hand just how good Homemade Ketchup can be ... Over 60 / 62 years ago my Mother & Her Mpther ( referred here out as Granny ) decided we were canning tomatoes as fast as we could & was coming to a point of canning way more tomatoes (whole , chunked , puree , sauce ,etc... and would still have way more tomatoes than we could use ...SOOOOOO , long story short , GRANNY decided one solution to keep from wasting we should make KETCHUP ....Don't know where the recipe came from , never saw her bring one out , but we made A COUPLE or so CAULDRONS of Ketchup up & canned them too... YES I DID SAY CAULDRONS........I don't know about today but 60 some years ago you could RENT COPPER CAULDRONS with Tripod , Wooden Paddle and all other accessories need along with it all from your FRIENDLY SOUTHERN STATES STORE .... I should know , you see , I had to go with them to get it & take it back & also it ended up being my job to stir the Cauldron to make the KETCHUP..... The KETCHUP ended up a little thicker , not as sweet , & not quite as VINEGARY as Heinz & was still every bit as good as HEINZ ....I do believe GRANNY could have made it exactly as HEINZ , but they discussed it & decided on a few changes according to their tastes ... This turned out so well that they decided to keep the COPPER CAULDRON a little longer & MAKE APPLE BUTTER for as long as the excess apples from our trees held out .... YES ...ONCE AGAIN , it became my job to sit , tend the fire & stir the CAULDRON ...I SWEAR , all I needed was a BLACK POINTED HAT & a BLACK CAPE With a Wort with a hair & I would look just like those HALLOWEEN POSTERS , L.O.L........ So , I for one do believe that with the right recipe making HOMEMADE KETCHUP can be made to taste just as good or maybe even better then Any other ones of commercially made KETCHUP ....AND , Best reason of all that it tastes so good , there are NONE of those NASTY ADDITIVES for taste , color , or ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES ADDED ..... THANK YOU ...

Ended up with a Ninja Hot/Hold Blender which does everything and more than the Vitamix does and for waaaaaaaaaayyy less money. Have had it for several years and love it! (FYII did find a Nesco stainless steel replacement insert for the 18qt roaster, [fabulous], about 4 years ago. Easier clean up, no issues with breaking down the ceramic coating of the original insert, such as higher acid foods such as tomatoes and apples for sauces and canning), and works amazingly for roasting turkey and chickens as well!)

I wish we in the UK had such wonderful crops of tomatoes. We have had the worst year for blight I can ever remember, and I am nearly 79. I lost my huge crop literally overnight; in fact, it's been a disastrous year for so many other plants as well. Makes me realise just how nature can really remind us that it's in charge, not us.

[@laurieclarkson9180]

I just started growing tomatoes about 5 years ago and the first year was amazing but the past 4 years for me, the blight has been terrible. This was by far the WORST for me so far. I'm in U.S. but my climate is probably more hot and humid than Living Traditions. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one having difficulty, even though I wish NONE of us had to deal with blight! Horrible!

Cheers UK! Here in Houston we too had an issue with tomatos as well as with cucumbers. So, maybe we can find solutions to be adaptable to nature?!!

[@teresacoffman5529]

I’m not completely sure about this but I do think it should be researched. Melissa K Norris had an episode on her YT channel this summer about blight. She said that once you see it you need to remove those plants immediately and throw them away, not in the compost. She said once it is in the soil you will have to wait a few years before you can plant in that area again because it will reappear. Please research this further so you will know what you need to do in your own garden.

You can also hang your tomatoes in a jelly bag type bag and just let the juice drain out in a pot. The juice is very nutritious and can be used just to drink, or in sauces, etc. Saves a ton of time and energy cooking down the tomatoes, and you don't waste the tomato water.

[@traciperkins6250]

When I do it, I press out the liquid with my hands, place the mooshed tomatoes in the Blendtec, blend, then pour it into a slow cooker. It's actually faster and easier that way. It cooks down faster because it starts with less liquid. Plus, I do get some tomato juice instead of having it boil away. It also condenses it into my much smaller crockpot because I don't have a roaster.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Core your tomatoes and put them in a big ziplock and freeze them, when you thaw them the watery juice is separated from the tomatoes without losing any tomato, the juice is clear, it will have a little sediment after sitting in a jar but most of the tomato stays intact !!! Cooks up so much quicker for tomato sauce, paste or ketchup ! Then the almost clear tomato juice is still good for the liquid in a recipe or I add a little salt and drink it 😍 If wanting to slip the skins, coring and freezing is also the best, skins slip right off !!! Best of luck

[@traciperkins6250]

Spent the last two days making this recipe, as I had tomatoes coming out of my ears this year, and it does not disappoint! I've tried lots of ketchup recipes over the years and they have never satisfied. This one is a keeper! My tomatoes were not all paste tomatoes, so the boiling out the moisture took forever. I added 2 Tbsp. of Worshteshire and a bit more sugar, as my tomatoes weren't super sweet. That's it! And I have 10 pints of amazing ketchup! Thanks for the recipe.

[@cindyburke4340]

Thank you for letting us know. I am going to try it for sure.

[@bethanynelson2678]

Did you let the tomatoes cook down through the night in the toaster at 250?

[@cindyserry2836]

@@bethanynelson2678 I don't have a roaster. Just cooked it long and slow on tge stove top.

I couldn't decide on what I wanted to make with all the paste tomatoes I just picked. I have about 40 pounds to do something with until I go pick more tomatoes tomorrow lol. You helped me make a decision. Ketchup it is. Thanks for the recipe!

I have a Vitamix blender. I also have a Ninja blender. The Ninja is cheaper and better because it has 6 blades instead of 2 on the Vitamix. The Ninja blender also does a better job making homemade peanut butter

Sarah, I am so grateful for your videos. If I can't be your next door neighbor, this is the next best thing! It's so fun to see like-minded people. Also, I'm glad you showed the trouble shooting part of the runny ketchup, what you do about it, and the correct thickness when you are done. Thank you!

Heinz is the Only Ketchup. But next year if I can fine paste tomatoes I will be trying this .

[@sister_num7516]

1) congratulations, you have a peppy glow. 2) Love your inspirational tops 3) I used a Victorio strainer to separate the juice, from the sauce, from the seeds & peels. Less boil down time, and get more than one product from same tomatoes. The juice was canned separate from the ketchup (used National Center for Home Preservation - we liked the spicy version compared to salty because husband had a stroke last year & have to limit salt) and I dehydrated the seeds & skins then powdered to thicken sauces & add flavor to other dishes.

[@fredrickofficial5674]

Hello Helen✋ How are you doing today?

[@moogiealways3016]

Honestly, I am the leave skin and seed in and it just works for me. Fruit butters are seeded/pitted naturally prior to cooking; but otherwise I'm not a pre prepper unless utterly necessary. That ketchup looks great. Ketchup origin is in China, Hokkien Chinese word, kê-tsiap, and has become our fabulous American condiment.

Heinz is my favorite too but I hate that it has corn syrup, and I'm not a fan of the "simply" Heinz. It just doesn't taste the same. It can't be the absence of corn syrup because that's just a sweetener, right? They must've messed with the recipe? Either way, I've gotta try your ketchup recipe. It looks so rich and tasty. And there's nothing better than a Vitamix. You'll never own another blender.

[@allyshivers3082]

Not as much salt either

[@matthewcollier4277]

In the UK Heinz Ketchup ingrediants are: Tomatoes (148g per 100g Tomato Ketchup), Spirit Vinegar, Sugar, Salt, Spice and Herb Extracts (contain Celery), Spice

[@user-rh5ik7hi2t]

Sorry about that. I couldn't start over for some reason. Well, I wanted to tell you about an episode of Italian Grandma that I saw. Where she made her sauce for spaghetti and pizza or whatever. She had a electric thing that she poured the cooked tomatoes through that separated out the seeds and skins. I thought that was so Kool, because I had never seen them before. I don't remember what it was called,but I decided to try to find it. My son has diverticulitis and can't eat them. But that would be another option.

[@cdnsoul5808]

I've combined 2 of your videos and made this incredible ketchup. I like my ketchup thick so using your recipe and another idea you put in a video some time back, I really got a great ketchup. Many thanks. If you remember, one of your subs suggested to you how to store your milk in the fridge using containers with a spout on the bottom allowing you to get the milk without disturbing the cream on the top. So after coring my tomatoes, I put them in my blender liquifying them and putting the juice in a similar container that you used for your milk and have it rest 48 hrs in the fridge and separating the water from the mixture which sat on the bottom, used the more solid mixture, added the other solid ingredients and put in the blender and sit another night, removed the watery part the next morning and added the rest of the ingredients and cooked it. It turned out greatttttt. Thank you sooooo much.

[@cindyburke4340]

I love this idea. Thank you

[@rowantreehoneybee3486]

I made this ketchup recipe last night and today and it is delicious! It took 24 hours to cook it down to the consistency I wanted but part of that was some water I inadvertently added. I tried another reviewers suggestion of one cup sugar and one cup golden raisins. I liked the flavor but I did end up adding about another 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup sugar in addition. I canned it in half pint jars and ended up with 21 jars. I love it and I, at least, plan to eat it often.

[@aslansdaughter4648]

Blending and a food mill is the easiest way to go. Makes the whole process so much easier.

[@happygranny9344]

Working on a batch as we speak. Fell asleep while it was cooking and woke up to thick ketchup. now blend, heat and jar it up. I have been tasting as we go along it is awesome. Thank you for all your hard work it is a long project but worth it. This from a 73 year old lady.

[@graceannkite567]

Sarah thanks for sharing your homemade ketchup recipe. I don't have a nesco so I decided to do a quarter of a batch in my Crock-Pot it worked really well and it does taste like Heinz ketchup. We are so excited to be able to make our own.

[@hopeup2792]

Did quarter all the ingredients? As I was to make some but don’t want to make such a large batch. How many pints did you get?

[@ronmartinmhg2804]

It looks good. A couple of weeks ago here in Thailand I made my version of the British, HP sauce. Nearly spot on and delicious. Homemade is the best. Keep the videos coming

[@TheLeeshah]

I like your ketchup recipe it doesnt have corn syrup, cloves, cinnamon or all spice. I will be making it as soon as I have enough tomatoes this year, I work at a food pantry and they cant give out ones that are very ripe or have spot so I'll take them home, freeze them and now make this ketchup and also my homemade spaghetti sauce and start my canning journey (I'm a learning newbie) Thank you for sharing your recipe😊

[@thebaker1517]

When we can tomatoes, we cut them up and put them in big water coolers. Let them sit overnight in a cool place, then drain through the spigot. You can get rid of many quarts of excess tomato water 🙂

[@monamorse1849]

I really want to try this. Thanks for the inspiration ❤️

[@susansmith574]

I have to try this. And I love that I can water bath can it, I bought a pressure canner last year but still a big chicken to use it, so only can what can be wb canned. As usual, great tutorial Sarah

I made it, It isTHE BEST ketchup ever. Thank you for the rescipe Sarah.

[@nadinepartridge2570]

WOW!! Good for you. You're the best. You make me smile. Thanks and much love. 🥰

[@YoutubeHandlesSuckBalls]

I just cut out the parts where the stems connect, then throw in the whole tomato. Turn the heat on and they turn into a paste by themselves. After a while they lose enough water to be a fairly thick sauce, at which point I blend them. This makes the sauce a little thinner, so a bit more simmering, and they are done. Put hot into sterile jars it lasts for years. I'm here mainly for the spice mix you use, I'm still refining mine and I'm always interested in new ideas...

[@loristallings6486]

This has been on my list of things to try. I made it today and it is easily the best ketchup I’ve ever had!! My daughter agreed.
