Hello everyone!
I think everyone knows that sauces ennoble and complement dishes. And the most trendy is ketchup! You can eat literally everything with it - meat, meatballs, dumplings, spaghetti, pasta, jellied meat and many other dishes, this is not the whole list.
But the more varieties of this sauce appear on the supermarket shelf, the less natural products can be found in their composition. Preservatives alone, E-shki, sweeteners and coloring agents - in a word, all that a person should not use at all.
But there is a way! We will prepare the ketchup ourselves, then for sure we will know what it consists of. After all, a home-made product can be given even to children who love it so much. However, it has one huge drawback - it is insanely tasty and needs to be harvested for more. A pair of jars can not do, checked!
And if you are planning a huge crop of tomatoes, I recommend closing them also, and paying special attention, they are very tasty.
Now I propose to get down to business, choose the recipe you like and prepare this gravy for relatives and friends. All recipes deserve your attention.
I bring to your attention a classic flavored ketchup recipe that goes with many dishes. We will cook it ourselves. After all, homemade sauce without all kinds of additives and preservatives is healthy and very tasty. If cooked correctly, then the workpiece is much tastier than in the store.
Every year I close this gravy, which goes with a bang. It can even be given to children to eat, because there is no pronounced taste of spiciness and spices. Only a distant piquant note is felt. In a word, the sauce is universal and neutral. Try to cook, you will definitely like it ...
Ingredients:
Stages of cooking:
1. First of all, we start preparing tomatoes. Overripe tomatoes are great for this recipe, because the more ripe they are, the richer the color and brighter the taste.
Also, if you have ripe spoiled tomatoes, they can just be used for this harvest. I wash the tomatoes under running water, cut off the base of the stem, and if there are any damaged places, cut them off. We cut a large fruit into 4 parts, if the tomatoes are small in 2 parts.
2. Transfer the sliced \u200b\u200bfruits to the pan and add a glass of water. Cover and put on a stove to simmer for 20-25 minutes until soft.
3. At the end of time, the tomatoes stewed, became soft. Now we need to beat the blender to a puree state.
4. Wipe our mashed potatoes through a sieve to remove the remnants of the peel and seeds. In order for tomato juice to have a uniform consistency.
5. Pure tomato juice is sent to the stove and bring to a boil.
6. Add 200 gr. sugar, then you need to mix well until the crystals are completely dissolved and cook for 10 minutes from the moment of boiling.
7. While the juice is boiling, prepare the spices. We turn the gauze in several layers or take a napkin, put it on the table and pour spices and garlic crushed with a knife onto the fabric. We knit the fabric so that the seasonings remain in the knot.
8. After 10 minutes, add the juice and our bundle with spices to the pan so that the sauce is saturated with spices. Cook for 30 minutes. If you want to get ketchup with a thicker consistency, cook another 10 - 15 minutes.
Important! Vinegar is indicated in the recipe in grams, weighed on the scales. If you have 9% vinegar, add 71 grams.
10. Pour the finished hot mass into pre-prepared sterile bottles, seal hermetically with sterile lids.
With 4 kg of tomato, 2.5 liters of the finished product turned out.
Good luck with your workpieces!

It is very useful, you can add it to all dishes with which you like to eat ordinary ketchup. And we will not add sugar and salt.
Ingredients:
Cooking:
1. In advance we need to dry 2 tomatoes in a dehydrator. My tomatoes, core, cut into slices and put on a special baking sheet and send to the dehydrator for the night. Tomatoes are dried at a temperature of 42 C.
2. Cut fresh tomatoes into slices and send to a blender, add dried tomatoes overnight, dates that will add sweetness to the sauce. Since we do not add sugar, pour a little vinegar and interrupt until smooth. It is best to take apple or coconut vinegar, but regular vinegar also works.
3. Transfer the sauce to a clean, dry jar and send to the refrigerator.

Very tasty, try to cook, you will not regret it!
What a wonderful time - harvesting time! Although you get tired during this period, it’s so nice to open conservation and treat your family in winter. Therefore, I stock up on all kinds of spins in several variations. And through experiments, once this sauce appeared on our table, we became his loyal fans and now we cook it every year. To taste, it resembles a store, very tasty. The flow goes even before the onset of cold weather!
Essential Ingredients:
Cooking:
1. To prepare this sauce, it is best to take meaty and ripe varieties of tomatoes. We wash the tomatoes and pass through a meat grinder.
2. We select apples with sourness and not juicy. We also rinse, divide into pieces and grind together with onion peeled through a meat grinder.
3. All the ingredients that are ground, transfer to a container in which we will cook and send to the fire. Add salt and sugar, mix. As soon as the tomato-apple mixture boils, reduce the heat and boil, stirring occasionally. The tomato should boil (gurgle) a little over minimal heat, and not languish.
I use salt with large crystals, special for workpieces or ordinary, but not Extra.
4. Now we need to make a knot with seasonings as in the previous recipe. We spread a piece of gauze, fold it in half, and preferably three times, and put peppers and cloves on it. We tie a knot and lower it into a pan with boiling tomato mixture.
5. While ketchup is boiled on the stove, we take up the preparation of cans. We do not sterilize them. Therefore, they need to be thoroughly washed with detergent, special attention should be paid to the neck and placed upside down, no need to turn over !!!
7. The mixture is boiled somewhere around 1 liter. Take a teaspoon of sauce and put on a saucer, give time to cool. We try for salt and sugar and spiciness, if in your opinion something is missing, we add it.
The consistency of the finished ketchup depends on the duration of boiling. The longer you cook, the thicker.
8. When the tomato-apple mixture is boiled, take out the bundle with spices. Next, we begin to interrupt the mass with a blender, until a homogeneous consistency, without turning off the fire. You can grind through a sieve, but in my opinion a blender is much faster.
9. Separately, I put the pot of water on the stove. When the water begins to boil well, I drop the lids and lower the jars one at a time with tongs. I hold about one minute. Then I take it out, immediately pour the ketchup and close the lids. I turn the sunset upside down and cover it with a warm blanket.

In order to prepare homemade ketchup with apples you will need:
Tomatoes - 1 kg.
Cut apples into thin slices. Blocks stew with vegetables literally 5-10 minutes, so it would be better if their slices are thin, and the variety of apples is friable and sour.

2. Apples will also be thoroughly washed and cored. Cut into slices.
3. My Bulgarian pepper, cut out the middle and cut into 4 parts.

7. On a high heat, bring the vegetable mixture to a boil. Do not forget to mix it regularly so that the entire mass is evenly warmed up.
8. When the whole mass boils, then we begin to boil ketchup to the consistency we need. Of course, if there is little time, then this can be done in several stages. For example, in the morning an hour and two in the evening, and for the third time already finish cooking. In the photo, ketchup after three hours of boiling.
9. After our mass is boiled to the structure we need, we get cinnamon, if we threw it in the form of a stick, and spices. During this time, they gave ketchup all the delicious and aromatic substances.

11. Grind the whole mass in a blender. We put everything on fire and let it boil. If you want a thicker ketchup, then you need to boil it to the density you need.

The video below shows a simple recipe for homemade ketchup. But despite the simplicity of preparation, it turns out to be very tasty.
If you believe the story, then the first ketchup was invented by the Chinese. True, there were no tomatoes in it. Its composition was represented by beans, mushrooms, anchovies and nuts. Everything was filled with wine or brine left over from salted fish. Since then, ketchup recipe has changed significantly. There is nothing left of the previous ingredients. I suggest you try making Chinese ketchup with tomatoes. It will be very tasty. This ketchup is perfect for barbecue and scrambled eggs, sandwiches and spaghetti with meat, as well as fish.
1. Tomatoes are mine and cut from above crosswise. Put them in a colander and pour boiling water over it. Remove the peel from them and cut out all the solid formations. Cut into small pieces.
2. Wipe the tomatoes through a sieve with very small cells.
3. Pour the pureed tomatoes into a pan with a thick bottom. Add vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and spices to them. Pre-stack the spices in a gauze bag. And you can put everything like that.
4. Put a saucepan with future ketchup on a small fire. It takes about 30-40 minutes. Do not forget to mix the mixture regularly.
5. Now carefully observe. As soon as you feel the delicious aroma of ketchup, and the mass becomes homogeneous and looks like a sauce, then remove the saucepan from the heat and take out the bag of spices if you put them in the bag.
6. Hot ketchup is poured into sterilized cans and rolled up.
7. Chinese ketchup is ready. Bon Appetit!
This ketchup is very aromatic. Even during cooking, I want to eat it. 🙂 Because it is very difficult to resist the wonderful smells floating around the kitchen. My daughter loves such a ketchup with a slightly sweet taste. For its preparation I use the simplest products and, as usual, do it “by eye”. In the process of cooking, I already adjust everything to taste. Therefore, an approximate list of products is given below.
1. My tomatoes, remove damaged areas and ponytails. Cut into pieces and put in a pan.
2. For ketchup took sweet and sour apples. With their help, we remove the core and also cut into pieces. Add to the tomatoes.
3. Peel the onion from the husk, wash it, cut into slices and pour it into a pan with tomatoes and apples.
4. Bulgarian pepper, remove the middle and cut into pieces. We send everything to a saucepan with vegetables.
5. Put the pan on a slow fire and cover with a lid. Water does not need to be poured, as tomatoes let the juice go. However, the vegetable mixture should be stirred often, otherwise it may burn. Cook everything over low heat until the vegetables are tender.
If you add fresh basil to ketchup, then chop the grass finely and throw it to the vegetables about 10 minutes before turning it off. So that it can be crushed together with other products. If you have dried basil, then you can add it to ketchup after wiping the entire mass with a blender.
6. Let the contents of the saucepan cool slightly and grind the entire mass with a blender or grind through a sieve. Of course, in the second embodiment, the mass will be homogeneous without pieces of skin.
7. We put everything again on a slow fire and begin to boil. Cooking time depends on the consistency you want to have ketchup. If thick, then it’s worth cooking a little longer, but do not forget to stir. The mass is already quite dense and can easily burn. Add sugar, salt, black pepper. 10 minutes before cooking, pour vinegar into a saucepan.
8. Pour ketchup into pre-sterilized jars and roll up the lids. Turn the jars upside down so that the lids are warmed up well. After cooling, all jars can be sent for storage.
The male half of my family prefers very spicy ketchup. Therefore, I cook it with the addition of hot pepper. The recipe is very simple. You only need tomatoes, onions, hot peppers and spices.
I use such recipes for making ketchup. And what are your favorite recipes for this dish? I would be glad if you share them in the comments.
In this article, we will teach you how to cook a real home-made ketchup with your own hands at home. More tasty and proven recipes with photos and videos on.
Do you know what is the most popular sauce in the world? No, not mayonnaise ... This is ketchup!
The most popular, beloved, and absolutely universal sauce!
It is not surprising that now there is such a large selection of ketchups in stores.
But store ketchup is still not the best option, agree.
Most often it confuses either its price, or its composition, or appearance, taste, etc. ... And you want it, it’s delicious after all!
What is the way out? Cook ketchup yourself, at home!
The advantages of homemade ketchup:
“Are there any flaws in home ketchup, and which ones?” You ask.
Yes there is. There is only one single drawback: home-made ketchup is so delicious that it is eaten very quickly, so you have to harvest it a little more, you can’t get by with a “couple of jars”!
Therefore, you should be advised: as soon as the tomato season begins - IMMEDIATELY start to slowly harvest ketchup for the winter, and also be sure to cook it for food for every day (fortunately, it is perfectly stored in the refrigerator!). So by the end of the tomato season you will be completely “packed” with winter “ketchup preparations”, plus to everything - you will have time to enjoy this wonderful sauce to the maximum in season. Reasonable? Maybe yes.
So, if you like to cook and prefer home-cooked food to the store - let's start cooking home-made ketchup and preparing it for the winter!
But first, some interesting facts.
Culinary historians call China the birthplace of ketchup.
And the most interesting - there were no tomatoes at all! It originally included walnuts, fish, beans, garlic, and much more. They ate noodles, rice, flat cakes and meat with this sauce.
The word ketchup is a derivative of the Chinese word “koechiap” or “ke-tsiap,” which means “pickle from salted fish.” In old Asian cooking, the term “ketchup” means “tomato-made sweet sauce.”In the mid-17th century, ketchup came to Europe.
Travelers, sailors and merchants brought it to England. The sauce was enjoyed by the British, and then by all Europeans.
Each country added its own ingredient to the recipe, so this sauce was different in each country. And, of course, he had nothing to do with the ketchup that we know now.
Modern ketchup - the way we know it now - has appeared in the USA. The Americans almost completely reworked Asian and European ketchup cooking technologies, added vinegar, tomato paste instead of fresh tomatoes, etc. to it.
Almost all manufacturers of ketchup sauce are now using this recipe, mainly.
Both in its recipe and in the technology of cooking ketchup is incredibly simple and unique.
There are a lot of recipes for this sauce (and you will see it soon), and its preparation does not have strict rules: ketchup is prepared not only from tomatoes and spices (according to the classics), any other vegetables, or even fruits and berries, can also be added to it. .
You can also safely experiment with the taste of ketchup, and master more and more new recipes.
Cooking methods, as a rule, two:
Ketchup is not for nothing a universal sauce.
Universal - this means that it fits almost all dishes!
Do not believe? See: meat, potatoes, spaghetti, chicken, sausage, ham, meatballs and casseroles. Pizza, sandwiches, fried and baked potatoes, as well as vegetables, fish and grilled meat. The list goes on.
In addition to the fact that ketchup is used as an independent sauce, it can be used as a dressing for soups, borscht, stew, added to other sauces and gravy - as one of their ingredients, etc.
In order to prepare a delicious ketchup, it is not enough to choose the right recipe, although much depends on it. It is very important to consider several points.
The biggest and most important mistake of the housewives is the use of “less expensive” tomatoes for cooking.
Those who have their own summer cottages and gardens, of course, are forced to use their crops to the maximum, and they are not the best tomatoes (especially for sauces, juices, dressings for borsch and lecho). This is understandable - rationality and economy.
But still! In order for ketchup to come out incredibly tasty, you need to use the best, tastiest, largest and sweetest, fully ripe tomatoes to cook it. First of all, the taste of future ketchup depends on the taste of the tomatoes used!
So, ketchup will come out tasty and fragrant if:
Now we proceed to the sauce recipes themselves.
There will be a lot of them, you will have plenty to choose from, plus everything, you will simply have a huge opportunity for experimentation: you are in your own kitchen and no one is restricting you, so create as you like!
What does it mean?
This means that the exact grams given below are most likely for beginners, for those who are just mastering the culinary path. In order to have a landmark.
With experience, you will no longer need to know "how much to hang in grams" - experienced housewives measure everything "by eye".
Moreover, remember that everyone has different tastes, and if it seems (to your taste) that there will be too much salt / sugar / vinegar - feel free to change the amount. Experiment! This is the only way to find your recipe!
We will need the following ingredients:
Cooking ketchup:
If you want ketchup to have a more natural, pleasant taste, use home-made apple cider vinegar or purchased natural non-clarified apple cider vinegar (take into account that you need more!).
For lovers of spicy, pungent and fragrant. Leaves no one indifferent! You can add more garlic or less - experiment!
You can’t add vinegar to this ketchup.
If you keep it in the cold, then there is no problem at all. If you want, you can add either natural apple cider vinegar (at the end of preparation) or even lemon juice (an excellent preservative!).
In general, the more garlic - the greater the guarantee of safety without any vinegar.
We will need these products:
What will be the cooking steps:
Attention!
Not everyone likes the taste and aroma of “cooked” garlic in a dish. Do you want your ketchup to feel like fresh garlic? Then remove the tomato mass from the heat, add chopped garlic into it, stir and pour into hot sterilized jars. Roll up the covers, let cool and send your workpieces for winter storage.
Do you like the taste and aroma of mustard? Then this ketchup recipe is what you need!
Spicy sauce with a very pleasant, burning and delicious mustard note.
For cooking, try using your favorite homemade mustard, cooked by you yourself - this is important! Either buy the most natural mustard in the store, or the third option is to use mustard powder. Just do not buy ready-made mustard powder - it will NOT be tasty, at least! Buy whole mustard seeds (better organic, they have a more intense and pleasant mustard taste), and grind them yourself in a coffee grinder.
So, our products (remember that it is possible to change the proportions, the main thing is moderate, without fanaticism):

Why use starch in ketchup?
Sauce with starch is guaranteed not to spread. So, if density is important for you + a certain dense texture of ketchup - add starch. In addition, ketchup with starch looks more “glamorous” - it has a certain gloss, which creates an additional aesthetics for dishes.
This ketchup is ideal for barbecue and spaghetti, on top for sandwiches and grilled fish.

Homemade ketchup for the winter is not prepared by so many housewives. It is believed that preparing ketchup is a troublesome task, and there is an abundance of ketchup in the store. This is true. But if you carefully look at the composition of ketchup on the shelves, then it will contain more products with the prefix E than natural ones. There are natural ketchups, but their choice is not so big and they cost much more.
You can close homemade pepper not only in glass jars. For many years I have been pouring ketchup and sauce into ordinary glass bottles. And for blockage I use salt. Ketchup is kept in my pantry in the apartment until spring. Bottles need to be well washed with a baking soda brush, dried in the oven or microwave. When you pour ketchup, make a cork out of the bandage: put the bandage folded in several layers into the neck by 1-1.5 cm and fill it tightly with coarse salt. Tie the ends of the thread. You can still tie a cloth or bandage on top. My colleague taught my mom how to close juice bottles with sauce this way. Then there was a shortage of not only cans, but lids.
