Add 1/2 cup of water.

Add 1 cup of white distilled vinegar.

Add 1/2 cup of corn syrup.

Stir the mixture to combine.

Place the saucepan on the stove and set the heat to medium.

Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once it starts bubbling, stir often to prevent burning on the bottom.

Taste the mixture and add 1 tbsp of sugar if you want it sweeter.

Continue to let it bubble until it reaches a nice boil.

Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

After 15 to 20 minutes, turn off the heat.

Cover the saucepan and let it sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes to cool down.

Pour the cooled ketchup into a mason jar for storage.

Store the ketchup in the refrigerator until ready to use.
