Homemade Ketchup

Cultural Context

Ketchup is believed to have originated from a fermented fish sauce in Southeast Asia before evolving into the tomato-based condiment we know today. In the Americas, it became a staple, especially in the 19th century, as home cooks sought to replicate the flavors of commercial brands. Homemade ketchup allows for customization in sweetness and spice, making it a beloved addition to burgers, fries, and more.

8

Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of salt, ground black pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and mix well.
