Ketchup

By: DJFoodie 
"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."

This Kitchen Approved Recipe has an average star rating of 4.5 Rate/Review | Read Reviews (15)
