- Homemade Ketchup without sugar
Today I'm going to show you how to make homemade ketchup from scratch.
This sugar-free ketchup is made with fresh tomatoes, onions and apple.
I made this ketchup with fresh tomatoes, but you can make it canned tomatoes or tomato paste (but you'll need a bit of sweetener in that case).

Homemade Ketchup is sooo much better than store bought and healthier
I just made this ketchup and it turned out great! I used extra tomato paste because hubby likes his ketchup thick. A little Italian seasoning, curry powder, and a dash of nutritional yeast for taste.. it's a hit. Thank you!
I made ketchup by accident while working in a restaurant years ago. I would save vegetable trimmings to throw in stock pots. I had a lot accumulated one time, so I decided to make a veggie stock. After simmering tomatoes, celery, onion, parsley, etc. I strained it, then, just to see what would happen, I put the remainder through a food mill, and there it was! Ketchup! and so flavorful, too...
Brilliant recipe mate, I added a bit of turmeric and garlic for my prostate, tastes yummy!
Did your prostate enjoy the ketchup?
I love the way you used the apples for sweetness- To the ketchup.
You mean after he puréed an apple and separated all the sugar from the fiber? lol.
Ketchup is one of the least problematic condiments in the whole isle and incredibly cheap. They also sell actually sugar free versions.
The only healthier condiment would be mustard. I would actually argue hot sauce is less healthy than ketchup. Hot sauce has about 150-200mg sodium per TEASPOON. A table spoon of ketchup is like 150. But a tablespoon of ketchup is only 15-20 calories. So you can really have as much as you want within reason and it’s going to be less than even one tablespoon of an oil/Mayo based condiment. Ranch is about 80-100 calories per tablespoon.
Unless your metabolism is just completely fucked by some medical issue, there’s no reason to avoid ketchup, mustard or hot sauce.
If anything a quarter cup of Franks over some chicken wings, is probably the least healthy, just from the sheer amount of salt. (~1500mg just in the sauce)
This is a winner Sashaaaaaa!!!!! i feel from this version we can turn it in to many different things easily as well. like use some basil for pizza sauce, put some chili powder for sweet chili sauce, and etc..... This is brilliant !!!! Thank you Sashaaa always😍💝
Great idea
Exactly Sylvia, I just had it last night for my dinner. there were some leftover pasta, I added 2 tbsp of this ketchup, grated some parmesan on top and it was just delicious... and I even didn't add any extra seasonings, so yes, love the idea! Thanks for your amazing feedback!
Thanks for sharing
For canned diced tomatoes add a tea spoon of backing soda and let it stay for about a half hour (make sure to mix well the baking soda). This will reduce the acidity.
Not bad advice, but I've overdone baking soda by following a strict amount guideline in the past. I've found it best to save that step for the end, and just add and stir a pinch at a time, to taste. Too little acid and your sauce will fall flat on its face, and it really doesn't taste good. Conversely, if the acidity isn't quite enough, white, or cider vinegar, added the same way can help the balance.
💕 I did it! I did it! Made my first ketchup batch and YOU are always so inspirational. It tastes wonderful! Thank you!
Wonderful! So glad you did it, and it feels so great, right? Going homemade is easier than you'd think.
Looking for homemade ketchup recipes and even the recipes I find have sugar in them I knew you would come through for me. Thank you Sasha
This is awesome, your recipes are easy to learn and follow! Just discovered your channel too. Thank you so much for creating this channel.
Thank you again! I am diabetic and am slowly improving my diet. I don't eat much ketchup but the sugar free in the store is so expensive! I love this alternative.
This video is a bit misleading… it’s not sugar free… he just hasn’t added extra sugar like in store bought regular ketchup
I’m a little bit ignorant on diabetes, but are you really that adverse to sugar? I have heart problems so I usually avoid very salty foods. I usually go for mustard but sometimes ketchup. But that amount of sugar was the WHOLE bottle. A quarter cup of ketchup is only 60-80 calories.
1. Even if that’s all those calories are coming from sugar that’s not a lot of sugar.
2. A quarter cup of ketchup is a lot of ketchup.
This also isn’t sugar free. The apple was blended and the sugar was separated from its fiber.
Back when I occasionally ate a burger and fries in a casual place by me, I'd get three Heinz ketchup packets with the order ,and it added up to three or so tablespoons. Not a lot to me but I totally understand the need to know one's carb intake.
It's February so will try to make it with canned tomatoes. In September will make a double batch with ripe tomatoes from the farm. Thank you for the recipe - it sounds delicious 😋
Sposibo Sasha ! Looks great without the added salt and sugar ! I will cook it soon.
Such an easy recipe! Thanks for this!
I love this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Just what I have been looking for! Thank you.
What a great recipe! Thanks!
YES YES YES! This is what I've been needing. Love the chart at the beginning comparing ketchup's sugar levels to other sugary foods. The visual of how much sugar goes into the bottle of ketchup is really an eye opener. And I did not expect apples!
Thanks man, I appreciate you sending over your amazing feedback... Actually I didn't have an idea it's that much sugar, before doing the thing for my video, I truly don't get it why we need that much sugar... Anyway I'm eating my fries with some ketchup again:) Hope you're having great summertime guys!
@@HowToCookSmarter you and me both. We only need that much sugar because we're all being made into addicts by the big food companies that add sugar to everything.
@@DadsDishes Definitely agree with that, after I started to cut back on processed foods, I can see my taste buds getting explode when I eat stuff like regular ketchup or candy bar.
Ketchup isn’t even bad though. One tbsp is 15-20 calories. You’d have to eat 5 tbsp to get 100 calories. The sugar is not enough to matter unless you have some sort of inability to metabolize sugar.
Yes, it does look like a lot but the same can be said for soy or Worcestershire sauce's salt content or the sugar amount in fruit jams or chutney. These
and similar products were meant to be used very sparingly or as an occasional condiment. Ketchup is fine but I never consume enough of it to warrant buying or making it. The recipe is good though, I'm not knocking it.
Thanks! It looks great!
This recipe looks great. I've been making my own ketchup for quite some time, it's one of your earlier recipes*, right? You had it at the end of another How to Cook Smarter video. I used to buy no salt and no sugar ketchup, but it got more expensive and harder to find. So I definitely will give this a try when we finish the old batch I just made. Thank you again for sharing your talent and creativity with your many followers. You are definitely a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐UA-cam chef! *For homemade ketchup: 1 cup tomato paste 1 tbsp honey 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 tsp mustard 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 cup water
That's great Lauren, I'm glad you already make your own ketchup, it's so much better when you can adjust it to your taste, for me it's making it less sweet in the first place, but also adding different spices if you feel adventurous, and sure good organic low in sugar ketchup is usually more than double the price of regular ones. Thanks for sharing this recipe here in the comments and I'm also giving you a huge 5 stars for all of your amazing support! Have a great day!
Beautiful and healthy❤
OMG!! I remember Spar, it is a South African shop product. I last lived there 16 years ago and have not seen that product since then. 😊
Thanks for the recipe!!! I've been thinking about making my own Ketchup because I find store brand too sweet. I started making my own pasta sauces about 15 years ago for the very same reason!!!
Yeah, exactly, store-bought ketchup is just too sweet, all I can taste is sugar... so this recipe is a saver for my ketchup cravings. What I love to do during the tomato season is to make some sauce and put it in the freezer for quick pasta dinner or to spread over my pizza.
Same here. I just started messing with the sauces :)
Awesome, thanks! I just modified it a bit because i was in a time rush. Tomato paste plus tomatos plus briefly cooked onion plus a bit of apple and a small piece of fresh date for sweetness, a little bit of water.. into the vitamix and it was done! love it
Never buy store bought pasta sauce… they put so much sugar and salt in it…
Awesome, thank you!! I just adapted a bit because I was in a time rush:
fresh tomato, tomatopaste, apple, briefly cooked chopped onions, a tiny bit of fresh date for sweetness, a bit of water-> all into vitamix and it’s done-> love it!!
May try your exact version another time :)
Thanks so much again!
I added dates too, but after tasting it, I really think the apple added enough sweetness and I could feel the mustard flavor too strong, so next time will try without it too
I’m going to try this. With fresh tomatoes as tinned ones contain a lot of sodium. Fresh is best watching from Australia
Wow simply wow.just the perfect recipe I was looking for.I just came across your channel and immediately kinda connected to it I subscribed you.Thanks once again ❤
i am on diet and u saved my diet i love ketchup. thank youuu ❤
Thank you exactly what I was looking for.
A well made video- thank you!
Takođe zavisnik od kečapa ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐za recept!!!!
Your recipes are helping us a lot.🔥
Glad to hear that
I've made it. It's good. We added one very spicy pepper and I do not regret anything, though since it was fresh it altered the flavour of my delicate italian tomatoes. Use spice with care!
Looks delicious. Thank you for this great recipe.
My pleasure 😊
Love it!!
Can’t wait to try, thanks
Can't wait to make this recipe! Could this (and your jams) be made in larger quantities and preserved in jars with hot water canning?
Thanks imso excited to make this!
Hope you'll find it delicious!
@@HowToCookSmarter I'm sure I will thank you!!
Thank you for your condiment recipes! Just what I was looking for. I subscribed 🔔. Looking forward to more of your videos.
☮️🌹
Wow Sasha did I get a workout pushing the mixture through the strainer:)! I think I got every drop:) This tastes so good. I’m the only ketchup fan in my home so this will be a great treat. I’ll bet it if u mix it some mayonnaise it will make a wonderful dressing. Thank you for another winning recipe:)
Yeah Nancy, what a great workout isn't it, just like kneading a loaf of bread, always puts smile on my face:) Same thing here, my son still enjoys regular ketchup more, but for me it's a game changer, actually I haven't been eating ketchup for years now... so my french fries are going to be happy again. Love the mayo tip, prefer to make that homemade too:) Take care!
Thank you for the recipe 👌👌👏
Thank you...FANTASTIC.
THANK YOU!!
Winner winner chicken dinner baby
That's a banger Sasha
Keep the incredible job going
BTW congrats on the cookbook im sure it will be awesome
Thanks so much for all of the support!
Thanks 🙏 nice! I’ll try it ❤
the best ketchup ever. it taste like Heinz ketchup . thanks a million
Omg thanks! I was just thinking can i use maple syrup for making ketchup, and your video told me i could! Haha thanks for trying it out! :D
Thanks Sasha! 🤗
This I will make, when my tomatoes are ready to eat. Have 30 plants from 4 different tomatoe seeds 😀😋😋
Hi Bibbi! Yeah, I was thinking about you and your lovely garden, I actually got this beautiful tomatoes from my mom's garden, and this year has been great for tomatoes so far, lots of sun... Definitely would love to see the end result of your work!
Thanks for sharing ... in my situation , I omit vinegar and add a tiny bit of unrefined sugar ( jaggery ) I also pressure cook the tomatoes .
I won't eat commercial ketchup and have been looking for a sensible vegetable-based approach to the subject. Thank you.
Wow this is something I want to try. Thanks
Please give it a try Nancy if you have a chance, for me it's a game changer when it comes to ketchup.
This is amazing! I've had to omit ketchup out of my life because it kept on ketching-up (corny joke) with me. Now I'm gonna call it a COMEBACK!! Thanks!!
This is smilar to my homemade Napoli sauce, which I make in bulk then freeze in portion sizes. Although I don't use a lot of tomato ketchup, I would make a larger quantity of this recipe. Then pour into the fancy glass yougurt jars that I have saved/recycled. Alternatively there are some brands of, single serving, plastic yogurt pots that could also be used/recycled. Then freeze and use the smaller quantities as required. Thanks for sharing Sasha. It looks delicious! I already know this recipe will be a hit. 👍 👌 💯 👏 👏 👏 👏
Oh, brilliant. I will do this. Thanks.
Hi there Lizz! That's great, I also prefer to freeze some fresh peak-season tomato sauce, at least to have some good stuff for my pizza.. but still haven't done that, it's better for me to be fast... tomato season is about to end here. Thanks for reminding me about that!
@@HowToCookSmarter Here in Ireland the tomatoes are just beginning to ripen. Soon I will be busy making my Italian style sauces, tomato and ministroni soups and this year, thanks to you, Sasha I will add tomato ketchup to the list. 👍
Happy cooking.✋😁👍 🍅 🇮🇪 ☘️
@@lizze8262 That's great Lizz, so happy to hear that! By the way, minestroni soup is my all-time favorite soup:) Happy cooking to you too!
@@HowToCookSmarter Obviously you're a man of great taste! 👍 😁
Thank You !!!
Another condiment I will never buy from the store again,. Thank you.
I made this recipe. It's really good. The only change I will make next time is to add jalapeno. I like spicy ketchup. Thank you for the healthy alternative to store bought!
Hi Christine! Thanks for trying it out! Yeah, adding some jalapeno would be a great way to spice it up.
Never had ketchup in my life.😍
Will surely try this .
This homemade version is so much better... regular ketchup is just to intensive and artificial.
I love ketchup, and this sounds great. I'm going to try it!
Hi Jill, hope you'll enjoy it!
Great recipe Sasha, I tried it and I added some reduced salt soya sauce and a little coconut oil for flavour. I will not go back to store brought low salt n sugar ketchup
replace Arrowroot for the flour --> it turns a 90% winner into a 100% winner! Fantastic!
Thanks❣️
oh my word im going to make this apples for sweetness wow in all honesty this would make a great dip
You are amazing. You genuis.
I made a keto one with blackberries and it was amazing.
Fascinating. Your ketchup has almost double the sugar compared to ours. But ours is also pretty much just tomato, vinegar, sugar, water and spices. In that order of amounts. Well, pretty much as in that's the full ingredients list (if you include salt).
I usually buy G. Hughes brand of sugar free ketchup but this recipe is much more economical! I will make it out of the tomatoes in my garden. Thank you, Sasha!
Yeah, quality low sugar ketchup is usually quite expensive, so if having fresh homegrown tomatoes there's no need to think twice:) Hope you enjoyed the recipe!
Adding apples is a great idea
Yeah, love it too...
Sasha I like this healthy ketchup & I like that you cooked it with apples. It's better!!🤗🤩
Thanks so much Liz, glad you like this healthier version of ketchup!
I had a couple questions, if you use canned tomatoes, do you need the same 600g, and if using canned tomatoes, what would you recommend the cooking time? maybe half? I do like checking out and trying your recipes, I am trying to eat healthier not just me but I do cook for my parents and making more stuff from scratch and removing stuff like HFCS has been helping.
hi! how long it will last if i save it refrigerator ?
Although I've grown to love the Heinz brand of ketchup, like you say my buddy, it has too much sugar, so thanks to you I'll be trying your recipe out, thanks to a Korean lady here on UA-cam we make and enjoy a Korean Street Toast and at the end we put ketchup and mayo on top of the vegetable pancakes, this would be a special touch using this homemade ketchup, but will be checking out your baked oatmeal? Yes I understood correctly, not just for breakfast but now oatmeal for dinner!😋👍
Hvala druze!
Simple, delicious and versatile. Plenty of ripe tomatoes at present...😃
Thank you for pointing this out about ketchup. I grew up eating a lot of ketchup. I was horrified, when l learned all the sugar in it. I stopped buying it.
I was about to write a complaint that no oats were used and then you gave the option of oat flour at the end 👍
This makes my mouth water! But (2:44) you find what flour? ULLflour? Is this possibly a USA-wide product so I (in England) won't have heard of it?
Ate the stuff left behind in the sieve too, on bread, while preparing the ketchup. Not bad at all.
My 10 year old loves to eat ketchup with everything. Although he is very healthy and we eat home cooked Indian food most of the time I was concerned because stored bought ketchup has so much preservatives and sugar. Your recipe is very simple and I particularly liked the idea of using apples for sweetness. Thank you for sharing a healthier and simpler ketchup recipe
You serious read my mind...as my kids asked for more ketchup on their eggs this morning!!! perfect timing...I cant wait to try!
Yeah, I know what you're saying, my son eats ketchup with literally everything:) Hope your kids will actually like it!
I'll be honest I dont like ketchup because its too sweet, I just made this and im in love with it. right level of sweetness and the perfect tangy taste rom the apple cider
Sounds amazing Sasha! I must give this a try. TFS and have great week! 👍 ❤
Glad you like it Hazel, it's just something special about making homemade everything:) Have a great week too!
Great recipe. I'm curious what else you got.
Ketchup ingredient: mustard.
My joke aside, this video is awesome, thank you!!
Love this recipe. I add a small piece of beetroot to deepen the colour.
Thank you very much. It is very healthy. Is it possible to create a video about foods that can be left in a food flask for hours and still healthy, please?
Hi there! Thanks for your feedback! Well, never thought about it, will do some research on the topic.
Thank you so much.
Thanks! Do you have the quantities for the canned tomatoes / applesauce version of the recipe?
Glad you like it Julie! 3 cups canned tomatoes/2 cups tomato paste with 1/3 cup applesauce... and if not using fresh onion make sure you add some onion powder.
Could I blend the pan ingredients before the cook? Seems like it would cook faster but may affect flavor slightly ?
Does this method may also work with a manual food mill, instead of an immersion blender and a strainer?
1:36 1:43
Many thanks for the recipe! Have you ever canned this recipe? If so, what process did you use? Thanks again!
Nice one 👍 I make my own tomato ketchup too. I usually use pepper red fresh tomatoes 🍅, one red bell pepper, one apple, one very small beetroot, some apple cider vinegar and salt. Sometimes I add carrot 🥕 or a table spoon of honey. 👍👍👍
Sounds great! That's going one step further with homemade ketchup, love the idea of adding red bell pepper and beetroot. Do you char the bell pepper over the flame before adding to the ketchup mixture?
@@HowToCookSmarter yes I usually char the bell pepper over the flame before adding it but you can add it to the tomato and boil, either way, it's great. Thanks ♥
@@hauwaagwae4660 Yeah, charred bell pepper is so much better:) Recently found about this cool little device, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/CDmRzYPRr6Q/v-deo.html
@@HowToCookSmarter oh! Wow 👌 that's really cool! I ll add it to my list. Thanks ♥
Omg 😱 thank you so much for the recipe !!!! You are a G ❤️
Thanks so much Maria!
May I suggest adding a bit of crushed basil to your recipe. I will be making this tomorrow. Thank you.
هاي
In Czech Republic have sausages too.
Can we keep it in room temperature? How long of a shelf life it has? 😊
Game changer
You are my favorite!
Wow, thank you!
Thanx for the recipe. Could you make a totally raw chocolate oatmeal cookie recipe using dates and peanut butter. Dates are rich and full of fibre, but I don't know how to incorporate them in such a recipe as a sole sweetener.
Hi there Gloria, glad you like the recipe! Yes, you could make raw cookies this way, here you can find how I did it: ua-cam.com/video/r5lhmHpnx5Q/v-deo.html , except I don't use dates in my recipe, but dates would be just great for making no bake cookies.
You read my mind!
Thank you for all the recipes.
So glad you like this idea of making a healthier version of ketchup!
Hi Sasha, I've made a fresh batch of this homemade ketchup recipe. I am wondering how long can I store it for?
He said it will last for 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge
Oats--the holy ingredient of this channel...Such a great recipe. :)
Great
