Making your own ketchup does not have to be complicated. In fact, it can be a fun and rewarding. All you need are a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry: tomato puree, vinegar and spices of your choice. Note, no need for salt and sugar! Simply blitz these ingredients together, adjusting the quantities according to your taste preferences if needed. The result? A homemade ketchup that is bursting with flavour and free from any artificial preservatives or additives. Plus, the satisfaction of knowing that you made it yourself adds an extra touch of culinary pride.

At The Petit Spoon, we believe that homemade ketchup is a culinary gem that deserves a place in every kitchen. Unlike supermarket alternatives, making your own ketchup allows you to have complete control over the ingredients, ensuring a healthier and tastier final product. By using fresh your own ingredients, you can create a vibrant and rich base that captures the essence of summer, as we’re heading into winter. Adjusting the sweetness, acidity, and spice levels to your liking allows for a personalised flavour profile that is unmatched by any mass-produced brand. Making homemade ketchup is not only a rewarding experience, but it also allows you to elevate your dishes with a condiment that bursts with homemade goodness. So why settle for ordinary when creating your own homemade ketchup can add that extra touch of deliciousness to your meals?

Ingredient information

Tomato paste - I have used tomato puree as this is the quickest way to make a homemade ketchup.

Onion Granules - You could fry a small diced onion instead of the onion granules for added flavour.

Paprika - This spice works perfectly with tomato and gives the ketchup the kick it needs.

Smoked paprika - Adding a smokey taste to the ketchup is delicious, this can be left out if you prefer.

Cinnamon - A spice that adds a touch of sweetness to the sauce.

Vinegar - Adds the acidic touch that a ketchup needs.

Serving suggestion

As we all know ketchup is great served with chips or fries, or you could serve with a burger or they could be great served with my spinach and egg fingers.

Storage instructions

If you have a kilner jar or an equivalent jar this is the best way to store the ketchup. The ketchup can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, or if you prefer you can store in an airtight container for up to 3 months and bring the ketchup out in portions when you may need.

Equipment used to help with this recipe

Nutri bullet - I have found a blender to be an invaluable tool in the preparation of many of my baby led weaning recipes.

Dip pots - These stainless steel little dipping pots are ideal for little fingers!

Kilner jar - Hygienic glass jars that you can purchase either with a screw top or an airtight clip top. Ideal for storing small amounts of homemade ketchup and chutney.
