Why use store-bought ketchup when you can whip up a healthier, tastier, and cheaper version at home?

To complete this How-To you will need:

1 28-oz. can of whole tomatoes in puree
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. tomato paste
2/3 c. dark brown sugar
1/2 c. vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
Green peppers, apples, mangoes, or jalapeno pepper

Step 1: Puree the tomatoes

Pour the can of tomatoes, along with their liquid, into a blender and mix until smooth.

Step 2: Cook an onion

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the onion until it's soft, about eight minutes.

Step 3: Add remaining ingredients

Add the pureed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, vinegar, and spices. Simmer, uncovered, until very thick, about one hour, stirring occasionally.

Tip: Be especially vigilant about stirring towards the end, when the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 4: Puree the mixture

When the mixture has cooled down, pour it into the blender and puree it until smooth.

Step 5: Cover and refrigerate

Put the ketchup in a covered container and chill at least two hours before using.

Tip: Experiment with different flavors by throwing a couple of peeled and chopped green peppers, apples, or mangoes into the blender along with the tomatoes, or spicing up the recipe with a finely diced jalapeno pepper.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Enjoy your homemade ketchup! You'll have about a pint. It will stay good in the fridge for up to three weeks. You also can freeze it.

I can't catch up to this ketchup recipe.

No it is not cheaper and especially not healthier to get it from a store. We grow our own foods so home made ketchup can't be beat!

@SOSLICK22 not fresh as in just came off the vine, tomatoes you buy at your grocery store arent fresh at all unless they come from a farmer in town, canned tomatoes keep the actual "fresh" taste, any chef out there knows that
