[...] found several recipes on the InterWebs that looked promising: Homemade Ketchup from Epicurious, Homemade Ketchup from Kiss My Spatula—which was an adaptation of this recipe from Saveur, and this no-cook ketchup recipe from [...]

Hi Tyler – Going through the process of canning your jars allows for a much longer shelf life (ie. a year). We like to use up our goods pretty quickly, so up to 3 weeks in jars washed with very hot soapy water, or run through a dishwasher works just fine for us. I haven’t tried the version you mentioned, but the blender and straining through a fine mesh sieve gets out all the seeds in this version. Enjoy and happy summer!

Hey, this seems very quick and to the point! As others have said, I can’t stand high fructose corn syrup and all of that other unnecessary stuff in ketchup.

I have one question however, I was on this other site and it went at lengths describing sterilizing jars and pressure cooking them and all of that stuff. Is that necessary? How long does your ketchup usually last (as if/when it spoils)?

It also talked of using a crock pot and cutting the tomatoes, getting the seeds out and getting the skins off, is that necessary?

Thank you, very informative blog!

I have been thinking about home made ketchup for days! I found your site through a posting from David Lebovitz and am so glad I did. I just bought some clamp lid jars and they were crying out to be filled. This was the perfect recipe to do the job. Delicious, thanks so much!

This was great! I used romas from the garden. The only thing I changed was I did not have whole allspice, so I used ground & made sure my spice bag was tightly sealed. It was no problem – the ketchup is tremendous. Thank you!

I googled homemade ketchup and as soon as I saw “kiss my spatula” I knew this was the site for me! My great-gran made fantastic ketchup, and now I can too! Branston Pickle is the best … and HP Sauce is called Brown Sauce (they’re so original over there with names in the UK: red sauce and brown sauce…). Thanks for this site — I’m referring my four sisters to it as well!

Thanks for the recipe! I have just bought some luscious red tomatoes and I’m going to try it out for my kids. I really want a healthy alternative to Heinz as I don’t want my kids eating high fructose corn syrup!
