Homemade Ketchup

Homemade ketchup is a delicious and healthier alternative to store-bought varieties. Made from tomato paste and lemon juice instead of vinegar, with a blend of spices like garlic, onion, and paprika, this ketchup has a rich, tangy flavor with a hint of sweetness. Free from preservatives and artificial ingredients, it’s a fresher and more wholesome condiment that you can easily customize to your taste. Perfect for dipping fries, topping burgers, or adding to your favorite dishes, homemade ketchup brings a burst of flavor and freshness to your table!
