So much easier to make than you would think - and so much tastier than the store bought stuff!
Ingredients
1-2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 Onion, diced
1 can of chopped, peeled Tomatoes
1/2 tbsp Tomato Purée
60ml White Vinegar, Brown Rice Vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
2 medjool dates, pited
1/8 tsp Ground Pepper
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
A pinch Nutmeg (Optional)
A pinch Chilli (Optional)
Preparation
Step 1: In a pot, sauté the onion till soft and translucent.
Step 2: Add canned tomatoes, tomato purée, vinegar, cinnamon, dates, pepper & salt and let the mix simmer for 20-40 mins while stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Once the mix reaches a texture you associate with ketchup, remove from the heat and leave to cool for a while. This is the part where you also add nutmeg - if using.
Step 4: Once the mix has cooled enough for it to enter your blender, give it a good blend. Add a little water if the ketchup isn't runny enough for your liking.
Step 5: Pour the ketchup into an air tight container and keep it in the fridge.
