How can you easily make ketchup at home?

To make ketchup at home with only six ingredients in less than 30 minutes, mix chopped tomatoes, light brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, paprika and Worcestershire sauce in a pot, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 10 minutes. Cool, and then blend in a blender or food processor before serving.

To make a quick homemade ketchup, mix 1 cup of chopped tomatoes, 2 teaspoons each of light brown sugar and apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon each of paprika and Worcestershire sauce, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and then reduce to medium for 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool for five minutes, then blend in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Alternatively, use tomato paste instead of fresh tomatoes, and add spices, molasses and corn syrup for a sweeter variation. In a saucepan, mix 1 can of tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, 5 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of molasses and 1 tablespoon of corn syrup. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of allspice, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder. Add 1 1/4 cup of water, and simmer for 45 minutes to one hour.
