Everyone loves ketchup - and there is none better than the kind you make at home. Here is the basic recipe, and you can dress it up with some hot peppers for extra kick.


Ingredients:
28 Oz. (796 mL) can of chopped tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic sliced
1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp (15 mL) salt
1½ cups (375 mL) water
1 cup (250 mL) sugar
2 Tbsp (30 mL) fancy molasses
1 cup (250 mL) white wine vinegar

Method:
In a large saucepan on low heat cook diced onion and sliced garlic for 10 - 15 minutes stirring occasionally making sure that the onion and garlic do not brown.
Add all remaining ingredients, turn up the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling turn the heat down and let it simmer uncovered on low heat for about 2 hours.
Remove from heat and cool.
Using a blender or immersion blender, blend the mixture to your desired level of smooth.
