I didn't have onion powder nor molasses, and I substituted corn syrup with 1 tbs corn starch in 1 tbs warm water. I used about 4 tbs of brown sugar, adding by taste. As it tasted a little bit too vinegary, I added 1/8 tsp baking soda (provoking a nice foamy chemical reaction in the pan) and it came per-fect. The garlic powder gives it a nice aroma, and it is just slightly sweet and sour as it should be. This is what I am going to do with all my leftover tomato paste from now on. Goodbye, store-bought ketchup!

Was pretty good. I altered it though. I didn't have onion powder so I just juiced up an onion with half a head of garlic. I used Basalmic vinegar and honey instead of Molasses. It was on the sweet side, I will try it again minus the honey and the corn syrup and see how that does with the sweetness.

I doubled this (making bbq sauce out of the extra), and had to simmer it much longer to get it the right consistency, but that was not a big deal since I wasn't in a rush. I must say, I absolutely hate ketchup, but this was good! Even I would eat it. My kids are too little to know the difference, but I had a friend (who loves ketchup) taste it, and she said this is soooo much better than the bottled stuff! We barely eat anything pre-bottled, boxed, etc. anymore, and now I can cross ketchup off my list. I'll never buy again. I omitted the corn syrup, decreased the brown sugar by 1-2 T. (can't remember), and we didn't miss it at all. Thanks!

This has got to be the BEST ketchup I've ever tasted! I wanted an easy and quick homemade ketchup to go with meatloaf and this more than fit the bill. I cut the brown sugar to 4 T and used about a teaspoon of corn syrup. I can't wait to try it on a burger or hot dog. HIGHLY recommend this awesome recipe.

Delicious Ketchup, you have developed the flavors nicely. I'm eager to try it with my "home canned" tomato paste ! I've generally used the canning jar(blue-book) recipe, but yours is much less acidic.

Soooooo delicious. It's great for dipping or used as a ketchup. I can't wait to try it out on other foods like bbq and oysters! I made mine healthier by using raw sugar instead of brown sugar, extracted the molasses and corn syrup. I added two fresh tomatoes (I grinded them in the blender first) then I added a pinch of chili powder for a little extra flavor simmered until it thickened and presto! Came out great!! Thanks for the recipe!!

This ketchup is incredible. I use all natural/organic ingredients. I use this to make my family famous BBQ sauce and it really makes a huge difference from using store bought ketchup. I use real maple syrup in place of the corn syrup.

I've made this a few times but wasn't satisfied with the taste or consistency - way too sweet, and kind of grainy. Today I tried "Quick and Easy Ketchup" from this site - what a difference! Much less sweet, great flavor, and doesn't call for any cooking!

Wow,This is a very good recipe. I've tried homemade ketchup before and it was not a good thing. This is soooo easy and tasty. The only change was a swap of stevia for the corn syrup. I needed this for meatloaf tonight and it worked great "In-a- pinch"

I used a no salt added tomato sauce, skipped the molasses and corn syrup and used my own home made brown sugar. I used a salt substitute and added a few Tabasco peppers with some raw onion. Once cooked down I pureed everything together. Plenty of flavor with no added sodium.
