Ingredients
  

Group: Main Ingredients
  • 28 oz. whole peeled tomatoes, high-quality (San Marzano recommended)
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 Tbsp. Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. ground mustard
  • ½ tsp. allspice
  • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional) For heat

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Immersion blender
  • Glass jar For storage

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan: whole peeled tomatoes with their juices, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Kosher salt, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard, allspice, ground cinnamon, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes until thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and blend until smooth using an immersion blender. For a finer texture, strain through a fine-mesh strainer.
  4. Allow the ketchup to cool completely. Transfer to a clean glass jar and refrigerate.

Notes

This homemade ketchup will keep for about three weeks in the refrigerator.
