Making ketchup is so easy and tastes so much better than store bought. Plus, you can completely control what goes into it.
I was feeling a little feisty so I added some roasted red peppers, cayenne and chili powder to a basic ketchup recipe. Even with the addition of the spices, this isn't really a spicy ketchup. Just enough heat to tickle your tastebuds at the very end. Seriously, my toddler was eating it. No sweat.
Want more spice or less? Just taste as you go with the chili powder and cayenne.
Can I tell you that my mom was eating this out of the pan? I can. And will.
