Home Made Ketchup

This should be called gourmet ketchup. What flavor! I can't wait to try it on a burger and fries! I had to use a little more water and vinegar than called for. But it might have been my preference to have a thinner ketchup. Make it as thick or as thin as you like. I got this recipe from www.simplyscratch.com.

Makes 2 cups, takes 5 minutes to mix up.

12 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup dark brown sugar (I used light brown sugar)
1/2 teaspoon dry ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 scant teaspoon cinnamon
2 pinches ground cloves
2 pinches allspice
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2/3 cup water
4 tablespoons white wine vinegar (I used white vinegar)

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. (I used a wire whisk) Store in an airtight container in the fridge and overnight for the flavors to develop. This ketchup recipe should last up to 3 weeks in the fridge. Use wherever ketchup is called for and enjoy!
