homemade ketchup recipe Easy Homemade Ketchup

Ketchup is one of the most kid-friendly foods out there, and some kids will eat anything with ketchup on it. Unfortunately, most store bought versions are packed with GMO tomatoes and High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Thankfully, it is pretty easy to whip up a batch of ketchup in your kitchen that avoids the harmful ingredients.

Author:
Recipe type: Condiment

Ingredients
  • 3 cans/jars of organic Tomato Paste (I order the jars by the case from here)

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or cane sugar, or about ½ tsp stevia powder/tincture (or more to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan or sea salt

  • 1 cup of water

  1. Put the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend well. Put in fridge to let flavors meld overnight or at least two hours.
  2. Use as you would the GMOhighfructosecornsyrup regular ketchup.

    How long will this last in the fridge?

     There is no such thing as ‘GMO tomatoes.’  I am passionately anti-GMO and Monsanto, but we must be 100% accurate in our depiction of the evil and not attack things that do not exist. 

    I love your blog.

    Would this last in the fridge like “regular” ketchup does?

  • Kristel

    Also wondering how long it would last and also, could you substitute something for the molasses?

    With the vinegar, at least a month.

  • Karah Spahn

    Thanks for sharing!  My husband & I were JUST talking about finding a low sugar ketchup! 

  • Karah Spahn

    Doesn’t the “tomato danger” have something to do with canned tomatoes?  And the chemicals in the cans? 

  • http://wellnessmama.com Wellness Mama

    There is BPA in the cans, and while the tomatoes are not genetically modified in the same sense and corn and soybeans, many do have altered genes.

  • Jan

    The GMO crops in the US are: corn, soybean, cotton, alfalfa, papaya, canola, sugar cane, sugar beet, some zucchini and coming soon rice.  Tomatoes are not GMO (yet).  The one I worry about the most is soy- it is in everything!

  • Roseanne

    Can you ferment this?

  • http://wellnessmama.com Wellness Mama

    You can, but the vinegar might stunt some of the fermentation. I sometimes do anyway… just leave on the counter for a day with 1 tbsp of added whey before putting in the fridge.

    The one I worry most about is corn – if it’s not in what you’re eating (used to dust the insides of packages, not declared in the ingredients) then it’s probably sprayed on what you’re eating (many types of produce, even organic, are sprayed with GMO-corn based ethyline gas for ripening).  What I don’t understand is why more people aren’t totally freaked out by GMOs being in our food supply!?!

    Could I can this recipe into mason jars, so I can keep it longer in our pantry?

  • http://wellnessmama.com Wellness Mama

    Yep :-)

  • Lorikay321

    Could you use date molasses as a substitute for the molasses?

  • http://wellnessmama.com Wellness Mama

    Yep :-)

    How many ounces are the cans? I tried clicking on the link and it keeps taking me to Tropical Traditions instead of tomato paste. Thanks! 

  • http://wellnessmama.com Wellness Mama

    Sorry… cans are usually 6 ounces.

  • http://wholenewmom.com/ Adrienne @ Whole New Mom

    Not entirely actually. Bionaturae doesn’t have BPA in their cans anymore.

  • http://wellnessmama.com Wellness Mama

    Good to know!

  • Kristy Kelley

    I think a lot of people are ignorant of what GMOs are and that they kind in a lot of different types of foods. If people really knew what they were, what they could do to their health and it is in pretty much all processed foods and given to their children, I think people would start caring. It’s all about educating the public!

    Could you heat this up first before bottling?

  • http://wellnessmama.com Wellness Mama

    Yes…

  • Abbie Heller

    No need for chia seeds in my batch; I could have turned my blender upside down after mixing this and it wouldn’t have budged.

  • Abbie Heller

    Please add that to the recipe when you get a chance. :)

  • Leslie Newhall

    what size cans of tomato paste? there are small cans and larger cans.

  • http://wellnessmama.com Wellness Mama

  • Loren Anthony
