I enjoyed watching your video 😊 I came to find a recipe to make for my 85 year old dad, who has a keto diet (no sugar). I added no sugar but reduced my tomatoes further which made it sweet. Dad is enjoying the ketchup 😊 Thanks & much 💙 from Australia 🌏
I just learned to make ketchup. My hubs is diabetic so no sugar, no thickener. It is very thick and flavorful. So glad! no more additives in his ketchup. He is one that likes a little food with his ketchup
I made home-made ketchup many years ago when we first got married (46 years ago!). The recipe is called "Blender Ketchup". You've inspired me to dig out the recipe and try it again. 🍅🍅🍅 BTW, Mom taught me do "open-kettle" canning and I've done a lot of it.
Ketchup is a perfect example of open-kettle canning. We used to cover with towels and set the jars upside down after a few hours. Many Italians still use the open-kettle method for pasta sauce, salsas and bruschetta.
Thanki you for sharing this open kettle method and your ketchup recipe. This method is definitely not something they teach anymore, but my mom used to do this with her hot pepper jelly. Thanks for such a thorough explanation.
I absolutely love your videos ! How old was Kendrick when yall adopted him ! He absolutely loves your cooking ❤as does all your family so comforting and informative
RuthAnn you are so inspiring and a great teacher. The more I watch you the more videos I want to watch. Also you look so much like my cousin I had to look twice. Hope y’all have a great weekend. God’s Blessings and Peace to you all. 🌻 🍂🍁
GOD is indeed very good. I love learning a more traditional way of doing things, so I come to your channel. Thank you for sharing, I love your videos so much, and you.
I love your apron, super cute. Thanks for showing your method for ketchup. I would like to try that someday. I am growing lots of roma tomatoes this year for sauce.
I've wanted to make ketchup but have always been afraid no one would like it and then that would have been a waste of my tomatoes and time. I'm curious to see what your kids think when you pop open a jar. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Blessings to you and the family!
My mom-in-luv, showed me to use hot water about an inch or so in any type of pan with higher sides, and as we put the hot foods inside the containers, it would help to also seal the jars. So much easier. This looks even easier, Thk you. Also, here in Canada, Ketchup is very expensive…$5.99/bottle with inflation, but before even $3.98-$4.99. So again, Thk u!!!❤
My grandfather also did open kettle canning but his method involved boiling the jars and lids so that they were also hot. He would take the hot jars and fill them with the hot food before putting the hot lids on top and turning the jars upside down. Rarely he would end up with a jar here or there that didn’t seal and he would either use that jar mediately or if there were a lot of them empty it back into the container that he was cooking in, bring it back up to a boil, and then wash and re-boil the jars and lids. Almost never did he have any failures after a second attempt to can them.
Your grandfathers method is what I was taught. Ive had a couple of jars that might not seal, I would use it or redo it. Ive never made ketchup because my husband and I dont care for it! I may try a small run for the grandkids when they come visit.
Today my roaster is filled with tomato sauce that is going to be canned up as spaghetti sauce. Last of my ripe tomatoes! Then on to the green tomatoes for salsa verde and green enchilada sauce.
I remember my Grandma’s homemade ketchup. It’s been a long time, but I loved the sweet, cinnamon taste. One day I will make some. Great video! I think the pigs need to learn some table manners, though. 😂
How did your family like this new recipe for ketchup? I am a fan of store bought as well and haven’t found a recipe that comes close as of yet…Thanks for sharing all the canning tips! I have learned a lot from watching you. I have been on this canning journey for two decades and have had my share of youtube time trying to find ways to preserve the food I grow…Last year I followed your directions and dry canned potatoes and we like those. This year I plan to make my pickles like you suggested so they stay crunchy.
What beautiful shelves of jars ! You are so inspiring with your videos. My mom made sauerkraut and green Beans all the time! Your name is German last name !
I have just discovered your channel in the last week or so and have been binge watching you. I love watching you. I can see God working through you. May he continue to bless you and everyone watching. There is another homesteading channel that has a copycat recipe for the ketchup you buy. From what I understand it’s spot on. Not sure how you would feel about sharing the link for them in the comments. If you would like a link let me know
I am so very thankful for this, bless you. May I ask what you add to your ketchup to make BBQ sauce. Can I say too that when my husband and I were watching a different video a couple of days ago I said "it's like watching sunshine on the tv screen when we see you" ❤
I have had (still have) multiple 22 quart roasters and I LOVE THEM. I am curious though how you keep the acid from tomatoes and such from eating the finish in the roasting pan? Every one I’ve had ends up with the finish flaking off and I have to toss it and buy a new pan, but that gets expensive! Any tips?
Question I don't want or have clear gel. Can I just use a regular cornstarch slurry to thicken it, or can I just leave it on the heat longer to reduce it to thicken it.
Thank you for sharing this ! I would love to make my own ketchup but is there anything else that can be used to thicken it? Trying to stay away from corn/grains and wondered if pectin would work? Love your videos, you explain everything so well without continually repeating information, even though I love watching videos I must also not spend to much time doing it as we always have so much to do. 🙂
You mentioned in your tomato sauce recipe video that you had trouble with the open kettle ones staying sealed long-term? Do you feel that the ketchup is different? Love your content! Thank you so much for all the helpful information! (I open kettled all of my tomatoes this year, so I'm hoping for the best 😅)
Can this recipe be used with green tomatoes too? My tomatoes didn't get a chance to ripped on rhe vine before rhe frost hot so we had to harvest them green.
Hi Ruthann, Is there any way to make this ketchup without using your clear-jel/thermflo or permflo ingredients? I don't have these, and not sure if I want to have them or not!
I don't know if you'll see this or have time to answer but several of my jars of salsa turned darker in color and smell sour. Do you know why this happened, or what i may have done wrong? The jars are still sealed. I've made a couple batches before this one and they were fine. Thanks in advance for your help.
Adjust your children's pallet by mixing 1/2 &1/2 store bought in store bottle. It never gets empty.
I enjoyed watching your video 😊

That was great! And such a great idea tasting the store-bought while you cooked it to get the taste right 👍
I watched a video from Living Traditions Homestead, she has a recipe that tastes like Heinz. I've tried it and my family likes it.
Your landscaping really turned out beautiful 😍
Just found this video. Thank you for sharing the recipe and the process. Can’t wait to try this next season!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience and family with us! I love your videos and always learn something.
What a beautiful home in a lovely setting ☺️
This is awesome! I'm definitely going to try this!
Love this. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.. our chickens and turkeys would love the tomato scraps
Thanks for sharing about bacteria and how to recognize bad ones!
I have never tried to make ketchup, but after watching this video I will. Love your channel. Have a blessed day.
Great video ❤️ Sarah, from Living Traditions homestead has a great Heinz ketchup recipe in her videos
Oh your cat looks just like mine😸love the video been wanting a good recipe 👍 Blessings to you and your family
Your home and the sunrise was sooo beautiful. 😊
If you put some ground cloves in with the cinnamon it will elevate the flavour big time.
Absolutely love this, I told my husband im going to try this, he said as long as it tast like Heinz lol.
Thankyou for sharing this. I have never made ketchup but an keen to try after seeing your demonstration.
Your home and gardens are beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Those tomatoes look delicious. My first time here.
I love your apron, super cute. Thanks for showing your method for ketchup. I would like to try that someday. I am growing lots of roma tomatoes this year for sauce.
Ruthann sells the pattern for her apron on her website, and has a great video on how to make it. She’s great, isn’t she!
I've wanted to make ketchup but have always been afraid no one would like it and then that would have been a waste of my tomatoes and time. I'm curious to see what your kids think when you pop open a jar. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Blessings to you and the family!
You can always make a small batch using canned tomatoes. See if they like it, then you can make big batches and can them when they do 😊
Thank you, now I understand my hotdog relish method from my mother. It does not get hot bathed either.
Easy, simple. Thank you.
Thanks saved recipe love to watch you.

Totally agree. I have tomatoes from my garden. Plus I want to know what's in my ketchup. Thank you!

Beautiful tomatoes and onions.
Thank you for this video.
GOD is good, all the time!! Thank you for the recipe
Loved seeing how you make ketchup, thank you! (I have a thrifted roaster just like that and it wobbles too, just like yours! 😅)
Roaster twins

Great video! I think the pigs need to learn some table manners, though. 😂
I noticed you use Rada knives! I think they are one of the best kitchen utensils.
Yes my favorite
Looks great to me!

I found your ketchup recipe! Thanks.
Your house and homestead are so pretty.
What beautiful shelves of jars !
You are so inspiring with your videos. My mom made sauerkraut and green Beans all the time! Your name is German last name !
That's a mighty big spoon! Lol lol
Thanks!
Thanks for this recipe! God IS good!
Beautiful home
Awesome Homestead
Good video
You have some awesome recipes. Do you just cook the ketchup down more if you don’t want to add sure gel? Maybe 1/2 way? Thanks.

My mom always made ketchup. It was the best
I am so very thankful for this, bless you. May I ask what you add to your ketchup to make BBQ sauce. Can I say too that when my husband and I were watching a different video a couple of days ago I said "it's like watching sunshine on the tv screen when we see you" ❤
Came to the comments to find the same answer. Were you able to find it?
May I ask which Vitamix blender this is? Thank you SO much for your time. This is one of my new fav channels. So much information!
Ditto for me!! LOVE your channel...one of our new favorites!! I'm planning to purchase and wondering about the model of your Vitamix too!!
Any chance of doing video tour of your canning pantry??
German Ketchup is sweet compared to the US tile catch ups we lived in Baumholder Germany for two years I loved it
Thank you for sharing!! How would I make this spicy? My husband loves spicy ketchup. Thank you!!!
Where did you get your plates and cups? Cloves are good for flavor is also good.
You must have the best tasting hams!!!
I have a roaster like that. It was my mother in loves❤
I have had (still have) multiple 22 quart roasters and I LOVE THEM. I am curious though how you keep the acid from tomatoes and such from eating the finish in the roasting pan?

What kind of blender do you have. I think you said a vita mix. Thanks
Thank you for sharing this ! I would love to make my own ketchup but is there anything else that can be used to thicken it? Trying to stay away from corn/grains and wondered if pectin would work? Love your videos, you explain everything so well without continually repeating information, even though I love watching videos I must also not spend to much time doing it as we always have so much to do. 🙂
You could try pectin. I don’t know the amount though.
I’ll have to do some research 🧐🤔🙂
All you need is patience. You just cook it until it is thick as you like it. it can take a while.
Could you do it without the gels also do you have to have sugar
I'm eager to try this open kettle method. Your way of canning makes so much sense. Thanks for the video! 🪻
You mentioned in your tomato sauce recipe video that you had trouble with the open kettle ones staying sealed long-term? Do you feel that the ketchup is different? Love your content! Thank you so much for all the helpful information! (I open kettled all of my tomatoes this year, so I'm hoping for the best 😅)
I wonder if the ketchup retains the heat longer because it's thicker? Maybe it melts the rings better.
I have that same cactus by my kitchen window!
We are cactus twins!!! Do you know what it’s called??? Because I don’t and would like to know.
My daughter said she thought it was an African Milk Tree!
Can I switch out the sugar with xylitol or stevia?
Great job I would like to do this, Which Vitamix are you using? I need to get me one.
What can i use that would be just as delicious as tallow. Don't
Have access to tallow or fresh killed beef.
Can this recipe be used with green tomatoes too? My tomatoes didn't get a chance to ripped on rhe vine before rhe frost hot so we had to harvest them green.
I’ve never made it with green tomatoes but set your green tomatoes in a cardboard box and they will ripen!!!!
my mom always added nutmeg as a secret ingredient and nowadays I understand why. It just do the trick in any dish with a tomato base to round it out.
Hi would like how to do corn and green beens? Thank you
If I'm uncomfortable with open kettle can this ketchup be pressure canned or is it too thick for that?
Can I use corn starch as thickener for the recipe? Thanks
Do you cook it forn1 hr per gallon?
Hi Ruthann, Is there any way to make this ketchup without using your clear-jel/thermflo or permflo ingredients? I don't have these, and not sure if I want to have them or not!
You could just keep cooking it until it’s the desired thickness
I just wander, do you eat any bread? I can't see any. I really appreciate your efforts and think you are amazing people.
Very little in summer and fall when I have little time to make it. In winter we eat more bread!!!
Can i make the ketchup in the instant pot?
Not great ketsup can be used in sloppy joes! 😋. Your BbQ sauce idea is great too.
I am new to canning and have a strange question but would you use your instapot to pressure can anything
The clear jel you used - was it cooked or the instant form?
Thanks for sharing! Let us know how everyone liked it!
Can I add something other than sugar? Stevia?
Of course you thrifted the vintage roaster You're the second hand queen be it yard sales, thrift stores, or auctions!
Nutmeg is the secret ingredient to make it taste store bought.
A litre (just over a quart) of ketchup is 4.50 here in Canada. Its not on sale very often anymore.
I buy organic ketchup that costs 12 dollars for 379 milliliters. There's no sugar or any sweetener . I'm also in Canada.
I don't know if you'll see this or have time to answer but several of my jars of salsa turned darker in color and smell sour. Do you know why this happened, or what i may have done wrong? The jars are still sealed. I've made a couple batches before this one and they were fine. Thanks in advance for your help.
Did you ever find out what happened?
I can't get clear gel or other thickeners. Can I still use this recipe?
Ruthann, can you open kettle can apple butter?
