Ingredients

• 3 lbs tomatoes chopped, fresh ripe
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 Tbsp honey
• 1 tsp brown mustard
• 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup onion diced (about 1/3 diced)
• 1 garlic clove (optional)

Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients to a medium-size pot.
2. Over medium-high heat, bring the ketchup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the ketchup to a simmer and cook over low heat for 30-60 minutes.
3. Remove the ketchup from the heat and mash the ingredients together with a potato masher (or the back of a fork).
4. Allow the ketchup to cool. Once cool, blend the ketchup with an immersion blender to your desired consistency.
5. Store in fridge in an air-tight container for up to 14 days or freeze for later.
