I enjoyed watching your video 😊 I came to find a recipe to make for my 85 year old dad, who has a keto diet (no sugar). I added no sugar but reduced my tomatoes further which made it sweet. Dad is enjoying the ketchup 😊 Thanks & much 💙 from Australia 🌏

Adjust your children's pallet by mixing 1/2 &1/2 store bought in store bottle. It never gets empty.

Ketchup is a perfect example of open-kettle canning. We used to cover with towels and set the jars upside down after a few hours. Many Italians still use the open-kettle method for pasta sauce, salsas and bruschetta.

GOD is indeed very good. I love learning a more traditional way of doing things, so I come to your channel. Thank you for sharing, I love your videos so much, and you.

I just learned to make ketchup. My hubs is diabetic so no sugar, no thickener. It is very thick and flavorful. So glad! no more additives in his ketchup. He is one that likes a little food with his ketchup

@shenahgee4181 can you please share your sugar free recipe 😊

I made home-made ketchup many years ago when we first got married (46 years ago!). The recipe is called "Blender Ketchup". You've inspired me to dig out the recipe and try it again. 🍅🍅🍅 BTW, Mom taught me do "open-kettle" canning and I've done a lot of it.

You are my favorite homestead KZread!! You're amazing lady!!

Thanki you for sharing this open kettle method and your ketchup recipe. This method is definitely not something they teach anymore, but my mom used to do this with her hot pepper jelly. Thanks for such a thorough explanation.

I absolutely love your videos ! How old was Kendrick when yall adopted him ! He absolutely loves your cooking ❤as does all your family so comforting and informative

watching this a year later and ketchup has doubled in price,will be making our own,thank you for sharing your knowledge,can't put a price tag on that❤

My grandmother who was raised Amish but left in later life made her own ketchup and tomato paste. Delicious.

RuthAnn you are so inspiring and a great teacher. The more I watch you the more videos I want to watch. Also you look so much like my cousin I had to look twice. Hope y’all have a great weekend. God’s Blessings and Peace to you all. 🌻 🍂🍁

I watched a video from Living Traditions Homestead, she has a recipe that tastes like Heinz. I've tried it and my family likes it.

Thanks for sharing!!!! Love all your recipes, tips, and content!

I made ketchup last year. It was delish. Enjoying all your videos and your family

Thanks for sharing about bacteria and how to recognize bad ones!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience and family with us! I love your videos and always learn something.

Just found this video. Thank you for sharing the recipe and the process. Can’t wait to try this next season!

I’m definitely trying this! Thank you 😊

If you put some ground cloves in with the cinnamon it will elevate the flavour big time.

I have never tried to make ketchup, but after watching this video I will. Love your channel. Have a blessed day.

Your landscaping really turned out beautiful 😍

Love this. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.. our chickens and turkeys would love the tomato scraps

This is awesome! I'm definitely going to try this!

What a beautiful home in a lovely setting ☺️

Oh your cat looks just like mine😸love the video been wanting a good recipe 👍 Blessings to you and your family

Your home and the sunrise was sooo beautiful. 😊

How did your family like this new recipe for ketchup? I am a fan of store bought as well and haven’t found a recipe that comes close as of yet…Thanks for sharing all the canning tips! I have learned a lot from watching you. I have been on this canning journey for two decades and have had my share of youtube time trying to find ways to preserve the food I grow…Last year I followed your directions and dry canned potatoes and we like those. This year I plan to make my pickles like you suggested so they stay crunchy.

Great video ❤️ Sarah, from Living Traditions homestead has a great Heinz ketchup recipe in her videos

My grandfather also did open kettle canning but his method involved boiling the jars and lids so that they were also hot. He would take the hot jars and fill them with the hot food before putting the hot lids on top and turning the jars upside down. Rarely he would end up with a jar here or there that didn’t seal and he would either use that jar mediately or if there were a lot of them empty it back into the container that he was cooking in, bring it back up to a boil, and then wash and re-boil the jars and lids. Almost never did he have any failures after a second attempt to can them.

Your grandfathers method is what I was taught. Ive had a couple of jars that might not seal, I would use it or redo it. Ive never made ketchup because my husband and I dont care for it! I may try a small run for the grandkids when they come visit.

Thank you, now I understand my hotdog relish method from my mother. It does not get hot bathed either.

Absolutely love this, I told my husband im going to try this, he said as long as it tast like Heinz lol.

My mom-in-luv, showed me to use hot water about an inch or so in any type of pan with higher sides, and as we put the hot foods inside the containers, it would help to also seal the jars. So much easier. This looks even easier, Thk you. Also, here in Canada, Ketchup is very expensive…$5.99/bottle with inflation, but before even $3.98-$4.99. So again, Thk u!!!❤

Thankyou for sharing this. I have never made ketchup but an keen to try after seeing your demonstration.

Totally agree. I have tomatoes from my garden. Plus I want to know what's in my ketchup. Thank you!

I love your apron, super cute. Thanks for showing your method for ketchup. I would like to try that someday. I am growing lots of roma tomatoes this year for sauce.

I remember my Grandma’s homemade ketchup. It’s been a long time, but I loved the sweet, cinnamon taste. One day I will make some. Great video! I think the pigs need to learn some table manners, though. 😂

I have just discovered your channel in the last week or so and have been binge watching you. I love watching you. I can see God working through you. May he continue to bless you and everyone watching. There is another homesteading channel that has a copycat recipe for the ketchup you buy. From what I understand it’s spot on. Not sure how you would feel about sharing the link for them in the comments. If you would like a link let me know

Thanks for this recipe! God IS good!

I'm eager to try this open kettle method. Your way of canning makes so much sense. Thanks for the video! 🪻

German Ketchup is sweet compared to the US tile catch ups we lived in Baumholder Germany for two years I loved it

I am so very thankful for this, bless you. May I ask what you add to your ketchup to make BBQ sauce. Can I say too that when my husband and I were watching a different video a couple of days ago I said "it's like watching sunshine on the tv screen when we see you" ❤

Any chance of doing video tour of your canning pantry??

You must have the best tasting hams!!!

Nutmeg is the secret ingredient to make it taste store bought.

You mentioned in your tomato sauce recipe video that you had trouble with the open kettle ones staying sealed long-term? Do you feel that the ketchup is different? Love your content! Thank you so much for all the helpful information! (I open kettled all of my tomatoes this year, so I'm hoping for the best 😅)

I wonder if the ketchup retains the heat longer because it's thicker? Maybe it melts the rings better.

my mom always added nutmeg as a secret ingredient and nowadays I understand why. It just do the trick in any dish with a tomato base to round it out.

Thank you for sharing this ! I would love to make my own ketchup but is there anything else that can be used to thicken it? Trying to stay away from corn/grains and wondered if pectin would work? Love your videos, you explain everything so well without continually repeating information, even though I love watching videos I must also not spend to much time doing it as we always have so much to do. 🙂

All you need is patience. You just cook it until it is thick as you like it. it can take a while.

Not great ketsup can be used in sloppy joes! 😋. Your BbQ sauce idea is great too.

Thanks for sharing! Let us know how everyone liked it!

I have had (still have) multiple 22 quart roasters and I LOVE THEM. I am curious though how you keep the acid from tomatoes and such from eating the finish in the roasting pan? Every one I’ve had ends up with the finish flaking off and I have to toss it and buy a new pan, but that gets expensive! Any tips?

Of course you thrifted the vintage roaster You're the second hand queen be it yard sales, thrift stores, or auctions!

I just wander, do you eat any bread? I can't see any. I really appreciate your efforts and think you are amazing people.

Very little in summer and fall when I have little time to make it. In winter we eat more bread!!!

Question I don't want or have clear gel. Can I just use a regular cornstarch slurry to thicken it, or can I just leave it on the heat longer to reduce it to thicken it.

A litre (just over a quart) of ketchup is 4.50 here in Canada. Its not on sale very often anymore.

What kind of blender do you have. I think you said a vita mix. Thanks

I read somewhere that we like store bought ketchup flavor because there Is always some burnt ketchup in the big amounts they make and that adds a smoky flavor the finished product.. 🤷‍♀️

Could you do it without the gels also do you have to have sugar

I thrifted my 2nd roaster, too then gave away the first, new one... It just wasnt the same quality.... Love thrift!

You talked about using your homemade ketchup for BBQ Sauce, Can we get your BBQ sauce recipe that you use?

I don’t peel mine and have never had issues with anything. You could run them through a food mill that would remove the skins and seeds and save you time.

If I'm uncomfortable with open kettle can this ketchup be pressure canned or is it too thick for that?

I don't know if you'll see this or have time to answer but several of my jars of salsa turned darker in color and smell sour. Do you know why this happened, or what i may have done wrong? The jars are still sealed. I've made a couple batches before this one and they were fine. Thanks in advance for your help.
