How to Make Ketchup From Fresh Garden Tomatoes

  1. Wash and chop the tomatoes and onion.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the ketchup has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
  4. Mash the tomatoes periodically with a potato masher or the back of a spoon for a smoother texture (optional).
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Puree the ketchup using an immersion blender or in a regular blender until smooth (optional).
  7. Transfer the ketchup to sterilized jars and seal tightly. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes for safe long-term storage. (If not processing, refrigerate and use within 2 weeks).
  8. Let the jars cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place.
