Homemade ketchup sounds simple… until it turns out too thin, too sour, too sweet, or more like tomato sauce than ketchup.

So I put together a full guide that shows both ways to make it properly:

🍅 Fresh tomato ketchup for deeper, from-scratch flavor
🥫 Tomato paste ketchup for a quick, smooth shortcut
🥄 Texture tests so you know when it is thick enough
⚖️ Sweet-tangy balance tips so it tastes like real ketchup
🧊 Storage notes, sugar-free options, and safe canning guidance

The guide includes metric + US measurements, fresh tomato and tomato paste ratios, troubleshooting fixes, and a full recipe card.

Which version would you make first — fresh tomatoes or tomato paste?

Save this for burger nights, fries, pakoras, wraps, sandwiches, snack plates, and homemade dipping sauces. Share it with someone who likes making sauces from scratch.
