Ketchup

SUBMITTED BY: DJFoodie  PHOTO BY: Jennifer B. 

"It's the only ketchup recipe that I've ever had that stood up even close to as good as popular brands! It's different, but it's REALLY good! It's important to reduce this for a long time, like 4 hours or so. It will thicken just a bit as it cools."
