Make your own ketchup

I love ketchup. I was one of those kids who put it on everything. Fortunately, I don’t eat this way anymore but I still enjoy some ketchup with burgers or on home fries. Most commercial ketchups are filled with high fructose corn syrup and preservatives. Making homemade is always a good option if you want to know everything that is in your food. I enjoy the complexity of the flavors of this ketchup a lot. It has a subtle sweetness and has a good mixture of spices in it’s but not too sweet either.
