I liked this katsup, but my husband thought it tasted like BBQ sauce. I will probably make it again and decrease some of the sugar and allspice.

I am allergic to onions, and as far as I've been able to determine, EVERY single commercial manufacturer of ketchup includes onion powder or ambiguous "spices" in their ingredient list. I was thrilled when my sister sent me this recipe--I just left out the onion powder, and voila, ketchup I could actually eat!

This was awesome when I ran out of ketchup and couldn't go to the store.

Thank you! I had to make ketchup for someone with a garlic allergy and this worked great (just leaving that part out)! I may never buy ketchup again!

I like this recipe a lot better then store bought ketchup..store bought has too strong of a vinegar taste for me...and this was perfect..I did not have molasess so I left that out. I also use honey in place of corn syrup all of the time..It still turned out wonderful for me..

After making burgers I realized I lacked the ketchup, and really didn't want to run down to the store to get a can. So, although my family was skeptical, I went to AR to find a recipe. Let me tell you something: I'm never going to buy ketchup ever again. This recipe is fantastic. I didn't even follow it exactly and it turned out fantastic! I didn't have tomato paste so I used a 4-oz can of tomato sauce, and omitted the water; also I had no onion powder or syrup, so I didn't use them. I really wanted to eat right away so I skipped the simmering part, although that made it more liquid than regular ketchup it tasted perfect anyway. My family was stunned. Thank you so, so much for saving the day!

This ketchup tastes a lot like the Whataburger ketchup... which is my favorite. It is sweet and tangy and has a brighter flavor than those on the store shelves. Because I didn't have tomato paste, I substituted a can of tomato sauce and omitted the water. It turned out great! This ketchup also cans well. I have made up a large batch and jarred it using my canner. I open a jar when needed and refill the ketchup bottle.

Pretty good, but will be better with some adjustments next time. Didn't use corn syrup & very glad I didn't. It's too sweet as it is. I'll cut down the brown sugar next time. But, will probably make it again as I like knowing exactly what's in my condiments. :D

Loved this! Didn't have ketchup on hand so I looked this up and I had all those ingredients on hand so I made it. It is awesome. A little sweet, I might cut some of the corn syrup or sugar next time, but not much. I also cut the water in half so I wouldn't have to simmer for as long.

This week I read about high fructose corn syrup and mercury contamination, as if it isn't bad enough already. I went home and tossed out my ketchup and BBQ sauce, then started searching for home made substitutes -- this is perfect! I did follow others advice and used only 3 Tbs. of brown sugar. Also, I used cider vinegar. It is so easy to make with ingredients I already have on hand that there is no need to ever buy ketchup again.

We're all out of ketchup, as you can tell from my use of this recipe. And frankly with a few personal changes that I don't think matter very much- like type of vinegar(I used white wine, just a splash) or lack of use of corn syrup- this will most likely go into the empty heinz bottle and into the fridge.

I've been developing a BBQ sauce that meets all my needs and I finally nailed the formula, which starts with a ketchup base. But I think store bought ketchup is disgusting and wanted something homemade. This was PERFECT! It was the perfect base so all I had to do was add my secret ingredients. It made my sauce taste even better than it already did. I'm going to use this as a regular ketchup as well. A little tip; Instead of letting it cook for just an hour I put it in my small crockpot and let it sit on low all day. YUM! Thank you for this GREAT recipe! :)

Excellent, flavorful, spicy... really good ketchup. I'll be making my own from now on with this recipe. Last night my dinner guest said out of the blue "this ketchup is really excellent". Now, that's something when people notice the ketchup, huh. Thanks for posting this recipe!

For those of you who are in a really big pinch... this tasted great even after simmering for only 15 minutes. I'm sure it would be even better if I simmered longer. Thanks for the recipe!
