Ingredients
- 2 Cups tomato puree
- ½ Cup Vinegar
- ¼ Cup Maple Syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Tsp Onion Powder
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan and whisk until evenly combined.
- Put over medium-high heat to bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce to medium-low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes with the lid on. Stir occasionally.
- Dip a spoon into the mixture to test consistency. The ketchup is ready once it coats the back of the spoon. If runny, simmer for an additional 5 minutes and repeat.
- Take the ketchup off the heat once thickened to your liking. Pour into an airtight container and allow to cool to room temperature. Keep refrigerated for at least an hour before serving.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the consistency: It’s a fine balance, and remember that it’ll thicken the more it cools. Overly watery? Keep simmering and re-check every few minutes. Thick like paste? Add 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out.
- Stir often while the ketchup simmers: Don’t overdo it, but I find the occasional stir helps to stop the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Don’t rush the cooling process: Resist the temptation! The cooling process is essential for your ketchup’s flavors to come together (and develop that dippable texture).
