Homemade Ketchup

Changing your ketchup game with a homemade ketchup recipe that you’ll go nuts for!

Back in my private chef days we were big ketchup eaters. And by we, I really mean me and the kids from the family I was cooking for. We love ketchup. We put it on our grilled cheese, eat it with mashed potatoes, drizzle it on potato gratin – you name it and I’m pretty sure we’ve tried it! And then one day we decided to make it ourselves and the world changed. It was TOTALLY SIMPLE and I’m never going to have to buy the stuff from the store again.

Until this day I whip up this slightly spicy homemade ketchup on a monthly basis and then eat it with roasted some potatoes or a grilled cheese or some fun hot dogs… you name it! This ketchup is fair game 🙂
