How to Make Homemade Tomato Ketchup
- Wash and roughly chop the tomatoes.
- In a large pot, combine the tomatoes, onions, garlic, sugar, vinegar, salt, peppercorns, and allspice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender). Blend until you reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
- Return the ketchup to the pot and simmer uncovered for another 30 minutes, stirring frequently, to reduce and thicken further.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tanginess, or salt and pepper to taste.
- Sterilize your jars and lids. Carefully fill the jars with the hot ketchup, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal with lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (this step ensures longer shelf life). Alternatively, refrigerate the ketchup for up to 2 weeks.
- Allow the jars to cool completely. Once cool, check to ensure the lids have sealed properly (they should pop inwards).
