Homemade Ketchup Came Out Watery

RE: Homemade Ketchup Came Out Watery By Maryeileen (698) Profile Contact Thanks for all of the suggestions. Today I cooked it on low for awhile, and added a little bit of bottled ketchup and just a touch of Karo syrup and it came out great. I've got french fries in the oven now so I can use some!

The lid would cause steam and excess liquid. Cook on low. Crockpot is great.

They discovered that the sugar gave a slightly scorched and carmelized flavor that people had to have. They simmer catsup for long times to do a reduction. Crockpots for home batches work well.

Just check occasionally until it is as thick as you want it to be.

I do my tomatoes from the garden and at each thickness, take off and process what I want from tomato juice to sauce to paste. Just a matter of cooking it thicker ON LOW.

Regardless of whether you can it for later use or want to use it right away you have to use what the ingredients call for. Tomato paste is a thickener. Try adding some paste and cook it on low stirring until it thickens. Sauce is very different from paste.

So, I will try to cook it and see what happens. Also, I used tomato sauce because I did not have tomato puree or tomato paste.
