Ingredients
Recipe

Tomatoes1 kg
Sugar2 tablespoon
Apple Cider Vinegar or White Wine60 ml
Large chopped onion1/2 unit(s)
Minced Garlic Cloves2 unit(s)
Celery stalk1 unit(s)
Salt to taste
Cumin1 coffee spoon
Spicy or sweet paprika1 coffee spoon
Coriander seeds or powder12 unit(s)
Ginger Powder1 coffee spoon
Fennel seeds1/2 coffee spoon
Water (optional)100 ml
Extra Virgin Olive Oil2 tablespoon

Remove the skin and seeds from the tomatoes according to the tip in the profile and chop them
In a heated pan, add the oil and brown the onion for a few minutes. Add the garlic and celery and let it sweat for another minute and then add the spices. Activate quickly stirring so it doesn't burn and then add the tomatoes and water. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes.
Blend everything in the blender until you have a smooth sauce and return to the pan. You will notice that the color is lighter than the industrialized one. If you want it red, use canned peeled tomatoes or tomato paste but you won't get the same ketchup. That's exactly what we want to avoid here 😉
Cook for another 15 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and then separates a little, put it in the freezer to freeze quickly (about 5 minutes) and taste it cold, it will be easier to judge the flavor.
Adjust salt, sugar or vinegar if needed, then let cool.
Put the ketchup in a very clean glass, preferably sterilized, and store in the fridge. If you want to freeze, fill only 3/4 of the jar to make room as the sauce will expand. Lasts up to three weeks in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer. Congratulations! You will have the best ketchup anyone can have. Healthier and very tasty. Have fun!!

Ketchup: how did this type of sauce come about?

The ketchup recipe is much more than you can imagine! Before becoming the famous sauce for burgers and various snacks, it carries a vast history and many modifications in its ingredients. The recipe for how to make healthy homemade ketchup is just one option among several ways to prepare this sauce beloved by many people.

There are reports and stories that in 300 BC, in a region that we now know as Vietnam, a sauce was cooked with fish and soy that was fermented and received a Chinese designation: Kê-tsiap. After that time, it is said that the English discovered this sauce and found it fascinating, taking its flavor to their country, where it gained several versions in its preparation method.

After these changes, it was further modified until it reached the version where tomato is its base, but that was something that took many years. It is said that the version of the tomato ketchup recipe originated in Philadelphia, a city in Pennsylvania, a state located in the United States.

With this discovery, H. J. Heinz, from the brand that became world-famous, HEINZ, began to commercialize this sauce that won the public's favor and we still consume it today. Several other companies and brands did the same, and ketchup has been a success, reaching Brazil and many other countries around the world.
