How to Make Honey Sweetened Ketchup

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk vigorously until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The ketchup will thicken as it simmers.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and let the ketchup cool completely to room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld and the ketchup to thicken further.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may wish to add a pinch more salt, honey, or lemon juice depending on your preference.
  6. Transfer the cooled ketchup to a sterilized jar or container.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop before serving. This also helps to further thicken the ketchup.
  8. Enjoy your homemade, healthy, and delicious honey-sweetened ketchup! It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
