How to Make Homemade Ketchup from Fresh Tomatoes -
6 cups tomatoes — washed 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or honey or maple syrup) 1/2 teaspoon grated onion or onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon powder 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1/8 teaspoon celery seeds 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
Place the tomatoes in a food processor or a blender and blend until liquid. Strain the solids out and transfer the tomato juice to a pot. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes until it has reduced and has thickened.
Add the vinegar, sugar, onion, garlic, cinnamon, cloves, celery seeds, salt, and cayenne if using. Mix well and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool down completely. Bottle and refrigerate for up to six months.

I have roughly six cups of tomatoes here.
It's springtime here on the island and there's heaps of tomatoes in the market.
Very seasonal. Once the season is over, no more tomatoes to be seen.
So I wash them. I'm going to put them in the processor. You can do this in a blender.
We're just going to process these into a liquid and I will work in batches.
And I am mixing little yellow and red ones. You don't need to do that.
And then I'm going to strain it.
Try and use a heavy pot for this because we're going to simmer this for a long time.
So we are going to get rid of the skins and the seeds.
Make sure to squeeze it really well and get all of that liquid guys.
We're not going to simmer this on very low heat for about 45 minutes.
We need it to thicken.
As you can see, this has reduced and it is thicker.
I'm going to add half a cup of apple cider vinegar.
Guys, I'm using coconut sugar for this.
It's still sugar, but it's better than the refined white one.
I need to put sugar in this, otherwise it's just going to taste like spaghetti sauce.
You can sweeten it with honey and maple if you prefer, but it will change the flavor.
So I'm adding a quarter cup.
I'm going to add half a teaspoon of grated onion. It's purple onion, as you can see.
You can use yellow onion or you can use powder.
This is optional, so I'm adding a quarter teaspoon of cayenne.
I want to have a little kick.
Alright, we are now going to let this simmer for about 10 minutes.
This is ready. I turned it off. Now I'm going to let it cool down completely.
I got about a cup and a half of ketchup, guys.
I am going to bottle this and keep it in the fridge.
This, hmm, it tastes beautiful.
It is absolutely very special.
Much better than bottled, in my opinion.
Delicious, plus we know everything that's in there.
Thanks for watching. I'm going to see you soon.
