Homemade Ketchup Recipe. Healthy, quick to make and tastier than store-bought

Here’s a super useful recipe to make homemade ketchup without additives and other unhealthy stuff. The recipe is for a small batch so it doesn’t sit too long in the fridge. If you prefer, you can always double the quantities.
It can stay in the fridge as long as needed without any problem, and once you make it, you’ll forget about buying ketchup! Use it as a sauce for burgers, for pizza, with French fries...

Homemade Ketchup Recipe

Ingredients

1.5l tomato juice
100g red pepper
100g onion
100g apples
1 to 1.5dcl vinegar depending on taste,
70g sugar,
1 tablespoon heavy cream
half a teaspoon pepper,
half a teaspoon salt,
half a packet of preservative

Preparation

Cut the pepper and apple into pieces, finely chop the onion, then add everything to the tomato juice and cook until it’s all well cooked (about 30 minutes, no need longer).

Blend the mixture using a hand blender or regular blender.

After that, return it to the stove, add vinegar, sugar, heavy cream, pepper, salt, and preservative. Boil it a bit more until you get the desired ketchup thickness.

When the ketchup reaches the desired thickness, add a bit of cinnamon or oregano, as you like.

The finished ketchup can be poured into smaller wide-mouth bottles or jars.
