yes you can make catsup at home but you need a very heavy pot and all day!. At-least that's how my mother-in-law use to do it!. I know she put tomatoes,vinegar,salt in heavy pot and cook slowly until tomatoess were very soft and easily mushed!. You they take this mixture threw a strainer to remove tomatoe skins!. Put back in pot and add sugar!. Stirring constantly cook until thickened!. You can add Tabasco sauce or any other spices you like to make different flavored catsup!. It takes quite awhile to cook this and you have to stir or it will stick and burn!. Store in the fridge about one monthWww@FoodAQ@Com

In my opinion, you don't!. The ketchup companies don't charge enough for their product!. I used to can homemade ketchup, and although the taste is far superior, it takes approx 4 bushels of tomatoes just to yield a few pints! Like bottled gold! lolWww@FoodAQ@Com
