DON’T discard the pulp from your ketchup! Dehydrate it then grind it up to make tomato powder! Can be used to boost tomato flavor in your dishes! Great to add to soups!
I can see how these homemade condiments can be so much better for people with dietary restrictions because substitutions and/or adjustments can be made. Thank you, Chef John! I love your channel!❤️
“Graters are gonna grate” is just one of the kinds puns that Chef John brings to his already awesome videos. He cracks me up while I learn some really nifty recipes. Thank you so much for sharing and keeping me entertained! 😆🤣😂
I also really like homemade plum sauce as a good substitute for ketchup. Plums+sugar+apple cider vinegar+five spice/garlic/ginger is basically all you need (adding chillies will turn this into great hot sauce). 20-30min on the stove and it's ready and plums don't need additional thickeners.
We’re lucky enough to have a plum tree, and grow our own tomatoes. So homegrown/homemade plum sauce and ketchup are definitely something we do. And while I don’t often disagree with Chef John, homemade ketchup is so much better than store bought and definitely worth doing.
Save the fermented pepper mash after straining. You can dry it and make delicious red chili flakes. You can freeze it in an ice cube tray and add to stews.
Chef John--You made me smile. My grandparents owned a poultry farm. They grew most of the fruits and vegetables we ate. My grandmother "jarred down" all sorts of things from apple sauce to pickled zucchini. She made spaghetti sauce and homemade catsup. I loved almost all of it, except the catsup. She used some sugar, but not nearly the amount of sugar in Heinz or other brands. It was a darker reddish brown, too. YUCK. But hot and fresh applesauce with cream stirred in...YUM!!
My great grandma canned like crazy. Everything from chicken to jellies/jams to pickles. I loved her applesauce which was peeled, cored and halved apples in syrup. Her crab apple jelly was my other favorite.
You know. I saw a comment about wanting new videos and why the older stuff, but I LOVE that you're doing it, because I only found you're videos a few years ago and don't always see them and the recipes are always great. Thank you!

When I make mayo I always add a few tablespoons of boiling water at the end, while I'm still blending. It stabilises the mayo. You can actually add about half a cup of boiling water without changing the emulsion much, it makes it a bit lighter.
Wow! That’s so good to know! I make all my own Mayo now, since finding out how bad soybean oil and canola oil is. I’ve had so much fun making different flavors too. This little trick should make my Mayo not so heavy and dense. I’m going to try it! Thanks for the tip!
I always make ketchup with tomato puree and tomato sauce combined,heat it in a pan and season it and within 15 mins is done. Works and tastes great all the time
Some of us are allergic to corn and its impossible to find ketchup without corn syrup. So while a lot of pointless effort for people who are able to consume off the shelf condiments, the ability to have ketchup again makes waiting 12 hours for a slower cooker to do its thing , really not that big of a deal.
Just start with jarred tomato paste. You can make ketchup in 2 minutes. I don't cook mine, I just season the tomato paste to my preference. The only "sugar" I add is a splash of organic maple syrup.
Making ketchup from home grown tomatoes is the way to go. Ripe tomatoes that are in good condition. Organic. No products that are sprayed to keep the tomatoes from eating the can. Way better taste.

I had scads of tomatoes left in the garden at the end of last season so I used the ketchup recipe from Living Traditions Homestead. My 30 pounds of tomatoes gave us 12+ pints of very good ketchup. Using an electric roaster made the process pretty easy.
Chef I've been following for so long I couldn't believe how many of these condiment recipes I learned from you years ago and still make today! The Aioli is a crowd pleaser for certain!! My only bone to pick is the hot sauce. Some 25 years or more ago I developed a strong aversion to Frank's and went with the brand name Louisiana Hot Sauce....close to a decade ago I started experimenting making hot sauce. Today I "age" my own peppers for home made hot sauce. I think the "make it yourself" routine is what many of us home cooks gravitate towards. Thanks for reposting these great recipes in one easy to find video. I hope many others learn as much from you as I have!
I'll have to watch this in its entirety & check out the links later. Suffice it to say now, THANKS, Chef John. I remember many years ago, my dear papa made ketchup & sweet relish. I can still envision him in the kitchen. I was so impressed & proud of him. Now that he's gone, maybe I should take up the baton & run with it. 😊
I often find that fresh tomatoes at the grocery store are kind of bland, because they’re picked out of season and underripe, then ripened artificially. Garden fresh or from your local farmers market would be ideal, naturally, but in lieu of that, I find that canned tomatoes are often much more flavorful, and also cheaper.
Good canned tomatoes taste great because they wait until the tomato is so ripe that they're on the verge of getting kinda mushy. Then they steam the tomatoes just enough to pasteurize them and remove the skin, while trying to preserve the fresh flavor. Then they add a touch of acid to preserve it as part of the canning process. That extra ripening matters so much to the flavor of the tomato, that it outweighs the flavor changes of light cooking and added acidity. I also love growing cherry and grape tomatoes. Huge output, they're hardy, and they grow year round!
There is also tiny problem with most tomatoes they have some gene mutation that makes them tasteless because of freezing/refrigerating. Any tomato from supermarket is probably frozen at some point, while local farmers sell them fresh.
I made the aioli last night. It was simply amazing! It was left over night. My daughter used it on her naan to eat with her veggie curry. another daughter used it in her pasta! such a lovely addition to my home thank you!
These compilation videos are a great addition to the channel, thank you for them! This one was as great as all the others and I have to say all the warnings during the horseradish segment are spot on. I take my food processor outside to make horseradish sauce and still have to wear a mask and goggles. Can't beat that fresh taste though. Thank you, Chef John.
This has been the most aesthetically pleasing video to date. Your voice is not monotone, there's energy, there's passion, there's variable pitch and cadence to your voice finally.
When I first moved from Ohio to Danmark, I hadn't really ever used Creme Fraisch, only sour cream. Well, you can't buy sour cream here, only Creme Fraisch and I'm so glad for that, it beats sour cream hands down and makes the best sauce for Stroganoff or Chicken Paprikash, anything that calls for sour cream tastes 10 times better with Creme Fraisch. Really enjoying this video, def going to make Aioli.

Hi! Jane here. The only sweetener I can digest is honey. So I have to make some of my own condiments. My recipe for ketchup uses ground fennel seeds. That really makes the ketchup stand out.
Covering the crockpot with a mesh splatter guard screen will SPEED UP REDUCTION slowing heat loss but still allowing evaporation...I use this trick when I make apple butter.
I just found your channel and I've already subscribed! This is right up my alley and I can see that I will be a regular viewer. I found that I had no cocktail sauce for tonight's shrimp, so I guessed on how to make it. I found it super easy when I thought about the taste profile. I simply mixed 2:1 ketchup and horseradish sauce and it was perfect.
Nice selection of basics. Love the advice on which to make vs buy. 🤣The last person I bought horseradish from was wearing a full face gas mask to process it when I arrived. Wear gloves with the chilis if you wear contacts. In my homegrown chilis, red & green has the same heat. Washing my hands with a series oils & soaps was insufficient to protect my eyes 6-8 hours after handling.
I learned how to prepare Mayo, and now it will be ketchup. As I’m writing to you, the mustard video popped up and that will also be the next one. Thank You
Yeeessss! Thank you! Homemade mayo and mustard is so easy, and way cheaper than buying. I stopped eating ketchup at all because it's always nothing but sugar or high fructose corn syrup, so this is ideal.
Check out the ketchup aisle again They have listened to consumers They offer sugar free and all sorts of variations The acid in tomatoes 🍅 needs a sweet so some use honey 🍯 or organic sugar They aren't to bad
How much ketchup are people eating that they are concerned about the sugar? Just looked at my bottle of Heinz and there is 4 grams of sugar per tablespoon. J Compare that to regular tomato sauce which has 2 grams per 1/4 cup. Lots of foods contain sugar naturally. A small apple contains 15 grams of sugar.
@@judyjohnson9610 those on sugar restricted diets are certainly concerned. If your limit is 25g/day, store bought ketchup can significantly limit what else you can eat in that day.
@@nancycy9039 Well that sure puts the stops on eating any amount of fruit. And I just checked my carton of 2% milk. A cup of that contains 12 grams of sugars. And close to 5 grams/100 grams of carrots. Good luck in keeping under 25 grams a day. A cup of grapes apparently would almost hit that mark of 25 grams. Forget that glass of wine.
A few weeks back, in service of turning a cheap pork shoulder into pulled pork, I threw together a pretty good BBQ sauce with whatever was handy. I was impressed with how well it turned out, considering it was entirely improvised and made simply by-eye/to-taste. It consisted of ketchup, brown sugar, adobo sauce from a can of chipotles, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and some minced garlic.
Oooh I’ve never tried mine with adobo sauce! I do the same as you otherwise. And I always wonder what to do with my leftover sauce when I make beans and rice. I was watching this the whole time thinking I’m going to use the crockpot to make bbq sauce now! Thanks for the idea!
I found that making the prepared horseradish with the shredding blade and not the S blade made for a more potent sauce. The first blade rips it, the second only cuts it into tiny pieces. Huge difference. I should know. We make this every year for Passover! It is eaten plain.
This is awesome. My unicorn I am chasing down is Arby's sub sauce that they had in the 90s. It made subs taste awesome, I think it was some sort of parmesan type sauce. I really miss it and been trying different recipes for years, haven't yet found it
Try adding a tiny amount of onion powder to the honey-mustard. It should not be discernible, but it brings the flavors together in an amazing way. Great video, thanks.
I add Wooster and black pepper to my mayo always - and sometimes all kinds of different herbs depending upon what I’m using it for. I love this method and the taste is so much better than any store bought I ever had. TFS.
Somewhere I have a "from scratch" recipe for ketchup, and as I recall, it includes caraway seed in the ingredients. I wonder if this would taste as good or better than the clove? I think making ketchup from scratch lends itself to making different kinds, like you could use some wasabi in one version, grated lemon rind in another, or chili powder and so on. You could use an alternative sweetner, as well, if you're trying to cut down on sugar but realize it will alter the taste (i.e. Stevia). His tip about using a slow cooker, though, is great.
I love this video! All the perfect condiments! I’ve wanted to make my own ketchup! And I thought garlic aioli was garlic Mayo! I learn so much from you!! 🥰😋
You have the right idea with your blue cheese dressing, but take 2/3 of the cheese +melt it part way in a microwave or over a bane marie (hot water bath) prior to mixing with the creamy base... you will increase the "blue" flavor profile even more in the finished dressing. I am a retir ed Executive Chef and I think you'll appreciate the tip for adding yet another layer of flavor to your already excellent salad dressing/dipping sauce recipe. Good video!!!
These are fantastic!! I’ve done the mayo, bbq sauce, sour cream (used homemade kefir instead, delish!), and ranch dressing. I plan to try the buffalo wing sauce and the honey mustard sauce next!! 🙃
I make ketchup in about 1-2 minutes. One a small jar of tomato paste (if you think it tastes good in other things it will taste good here; better yet, make it from toms you grow in your own garden [my goal]) and scrape it out into a bowl. Add salt, onion powder (quite a bit), some garlic powder, ground clove (allspice will do in a pinch), and a bit of maple syrup -- and any of the other ingredients you would like, though I recommend staying away from processed sugar at all costs -- all to your taste preference. I don't usually put vinegar in mine, but you can (again to taste). I suspect a little FRESHly grated nutmeg would also be amazing. Mix well and scrape it back into the jar for storage. Personally, I can't stand store-bought condiments (other than yellow mustard, which I haven't made myself yet). Most are a disgusting conglomeration of non-food chemicals mixed with dead food products. Try eating homemade ranch for a few months. I dare you to eat the garbage from the ranch hidden in the valley ever again. 🤮
In Albania they make an whole room in the home temporarily just for drying, when pasta is made, for atleast three days. meaning that they will be air dry not by magical technical experiments that you try to do.
As someone who isn't able to eat ketchup because of the onion, garlic and high fructose corn syrup, thank you!! I can easily do some swaps with chives and asafoetida while i work from home 😁 i haven't had ketchup in over 5 years and this is amazing!! There's so little in the world that is low fodmap friendly. Thanks!!
I think that was my problem.... I only soaked my mustard seeds for a few hours before I began attempting to grind with a mortar and pestle. Can't wait to try this!!
I'm not too fond of ketchup so it wouldn't work for me! Thank you for the other recipes! Very much appreciated!!!👍👍👍And I also LOVE you're sense of humor!❤️

As a person with odd food allergies thank you! I have allergies or "extreme sensitivity " to clove, cinnamon (there is cinnamon in foods that you have no idea why its there same with clove and nutmeg), coconut and its by products, walnuts( black ones primarily, english ones don't cause quite the same reaction), certain seafood like shrimp, crab and things like that but not sardines, anchovies or some other fish. Mine may have to do with where its harvested as much as what it is. Seaweed is that way so i avoid it all. I have many more ..tl;dr situation. Knowing whats in them and seeing ways to make it and not use the offending ingredients is really helpful.
What a great video so many excellent sauces thank you so much Chef John. I was cracking up throughout the entire thing you are hilarious thanks for bringing some sparkle into my otherwise dull day lol 😂👏🏻💕
You are right, after watching the ketchup recipe (the recipe that I watched the video for) I saw that it's not worth it and to be honest living in New Zealand the ingredients would cost more than just buying the ready made sauce. I may possibly make it once just for the experience but it's now at the bottom of my 'try to make' recipe list. I love your personality it's perfect for this channel. Xx
Horseradish grew on our old farm. I made Once-I was overcome with the fumes, this was before the food processors were invented. I love horseradish on my potatoes
We asked a chef why his blue cheese dressing was so good - he adds tomato juice! It really is a great addition. Twenty years on, I still add it. I only make about a cup at a time and add about a tablespoon.

Good tip
Sounds good, I'm thinking about tomato chips 🍟
I was coming to say exactly this, works great with green tomatoes as well a nice hit of umami
dehydrate like in a low oven (or leaving it to air dry?) or do you own a dehydrator?
But its already seasoned
I can see how these homemade condiments can be so much better for people with dietary restrictions because substitutions and/or adjustments can be made. Thank you, Chef John! I love your channel!❤️

I found that I had no cocktail sauce for tonight's shrimp, so I guessed on how to make it. I found it super easy when I thought about the taste profile. I simply mixed 2:1 ketchup and horseradish sauce and it was perfect.
Nice selection of basics. Love the advice on which to make vs buy. 🤣The last person I bought horseradish from was wearing a full face gas mask to process it when I arrived.
Wear gloves with the chilis if you wear contacts. In my homegrown chilis, red & green has the same heat. Washing my hands with a series oils & soaps was insufficient to protect my eyes 6-8 hours after handling.
These recipes are necessities now I need to go and print them all out :)
I learned how to prepare Mayo, and now it will be ketchup. As I’m writing to you, the mustard video popped up and that will also be the next one. Thank You
Yeeessss! Thank you! Homemade mayo and mustard is so easy, and way cheaper than buying. I stopped eating ketchup at all because it's always nothing but sugar or high fructose corn syrup, so this is ideal.
Check out the ketchup aisle again
They have listened to consumers
They offer sugar free and all sorts of variations
The acid in tomatoes 🍅 needs a sweet so some use honey 🍯 or organic sugar They aren't to bad
How much ketchup are people eating that they are concerned about the sugar? Just looked at my bottle of Heinz and there is 4 grams of sugar per tablespoon. J Compare that to regular tomato sauce which has 2 grams per 1/4 cup. Lots of foods contain sugar naturally. A small apple contains 15 grams of sugar.
@@judyjohnson9610 those on sugar restricted diets are certainly concerned. If your limit is 25g/day, store bought ketchup can significantly limit what else you can eat in that day.
@@nancycy9039 Well that sure puts the stops on eating any amount of fruit. And I just checked my carton of 2% milk. A cup of that contains 12 grams of sugars. And close to 5 grams/100 grams of carrots. Good luck in keeping under 25 grams a day. A cup of grapes apparently would almost hit that mark of 25 grams. Forget that glass of wine.
@@judyjohnson9610 right you are!
A few weeks back, in service of turning a cheap pork shoulder into pulled pork, I threw together a pretty good BBQ sauce with whatever was handy. I was impressed with how well it turned out, considering it was entirely improvised and made simply by-eye/to-taste. It consisted of ketchup, brown sugar, adobo sauce from a can of chipotles, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and some minced garlic.
Thanks for the idea!
Oooh I’ve never tried mine with adobo sauce! I do the same as you otherwise. And I always wonder what to do with my leftover sauce when I make beans and rice. I was watching this the whole time thinking I’m going to use the crockpot to make bbq sauce now! Thanks for the idea!
I love these lol! I laugh and learn at the same time!
As a cook for over 30 years now; friends ask me for techniques and stuff....i dont have time to explain; i send them to your vids. Thank you man!!!
I've made the Dijon Mustard and the Ketchup and they are delicious!!
I found that making the prepared horseradish with the shredding blade and not the S blade made for a more potent sauce. The first blade rips it, the second only cuts it into tiny pieces. Huge difference. I should know. We make this every year for Passover! It is eaten plain.
Best start to my Sunday! Thank you Chef!
This is awesome. My unicorn I am chasing down is Arby's sub sauce that they had in the 90s. It made subs taste awesome, I think it was some sort of parmesan type sauce. I really miss it and been trying different recipes for years, haven't yet found it
Forgot about that sauce! It was really good!
I miss those subs. I think the sauce was a creamy itallian sauce. The current itillian sub at Arby's is very underwhelming.
Try adding a tiny amount of onion powder to the honey-mustard. It should not be discernible, but it brings the flavors together in an amazing way. Great video, thanks.
I add Wooster and black pepper to my mayo always - and sometimes all kinds of different herbs depending upon what I’m using it for. I love this method and the taste is so much better than any store bought I ever had. TFS.
I know everybody says wooster because its basically not pronounciable, but in writing, i guess you mean worcestershire?
@@leonhardable No, I say that because my mom said it that way!
Thank you Chef, a great set of ideas.
Somewhere I have a "from scratch" recipe for ketchup, and as I recall, it includes caraway seed in the ingredients. I wonder if this would taste as good or better than the clove? I think making ketchup from scratch lends itself to making different kinds, like you could use some wasabi in one version, grated lemon rind in another, or chili powder and so on. You could use an alternative sweetner, as well, if you're trying to cut down on sugar but realize it will alter the taste (i.e. Stevia). His tip about using a slow cooker, though, is great.
Your voice in this video was really nice! I’ve never heard it this way out of the dozens and dozens of your videos I’ve seen.
For your buffalo wing sauce, I opted out of Frank's for Crystal, which has garlic and onion powder in it.
I love this video! All the perfect condiments! I’ve wanted to make my own ketchup! And I thought garlic aioli was garlic Mayo! I learn so much from you!! 🥰😋
You have the right idea with your blue cheese dressing, but take 2/3 of the cheese +melt it part way in a microwave or over a bane marie (hot water bath) prior to mixing with the creamy base... you will increase the "blue" flavor profile even more in the finished dressing. I am a retir ed Executive Chef and I think you'll appreciate the tip for adding yet another layer of flavor to your already excellent salad dressing/dipping sauce recipe. Good video!!!
You Rock Chef John
I can't purchase ketchup in the area I live, so this recipe is a blessing for me!! Thank you Chef!
John, with the recent increase in the cost of mayo, your tutorial on mayo, is a game changer. 😘
These are fantastic!! I’ve done the mayo, bbq sauce, sour cream (used homemade kefir instead, delish!), and ranch dressing.
I plan to try the buffalo wing sauce and the honey mustard sauce next!! 🙃
I make ketchup in about 1-2 minutes. One a small jar of tomato paste (if you think it tastes good in other things it will taste good here; better yet, make it from toms you grow in your own garden [my goal]) and scrape it out into a bowl. Add salt, onion powder (quite a bit), some garlic powder, ground clove (allspice will do in a pinch), and a bit of maple syrup -- and any of the other ingredients you would like, though I recommend staying away from processed sugar at all costs -- all to your taste preference. I don't usually put vinegar in mine, but you can (again to taste). I suspect a little FRESHly grated nutmeg would also be amazing. Mix well and scrape it back into the jar for storage. Personally, I can't stand store-bought condiments (other than yellow mustard, which I haven't made myself yet). Most are a disgusting conglomeration of non-food chemicals mixed with dead food products. Try eating homemade ranch for a few months. I dare you to eat the garbage from the ranch hidden in the valley ever again. 🤮
I just made this using sweet peppers and some mild hot peppers. It is great.
In Albania they make an whole room in the home temporarily just for drying, when pasta is made, for atleast three days. meaning that they will be air dry not by magical technical experiments that you try to do.
An epic compellation Chef!
The Ranch dressing recipe is unbelievably delicious. I tried others and they don't compare.
I am going to make the ketchup ( and several others ) because I can't have sugar. I plan to make it with Allulose. Thanks Chef John.
As someone who isn't able to eat ketchup because of the onion, garlic and high fructose corn syrup, thank you!! I can easily do some swaps with chives and asafoetida while i work from home 😁 i haven't had ketchup in over 5 years and this is amazing!! There's so little in the world that is low fodmap friendly. Thanks!!
I think that was my problem.... I only soaked my mustard seeds for a few hours before I began attempting to grind with a mortar and pestle. Can't wait to try this!!
I know this was all done before, but this video was awesome! THanks for this!
I've been thinking about doing this. Such a great idea!
Did this last year with green tomatoes cuz I had a ton n didn’t have a use for them so I made some ketchup that was so good and wonderful!
😂 Gotta love Chef John, and, cayenne!
I found Chef John on Allrecipes and fell in love with him after making his peach pie (with cayenne!).
Sometimes odd combinations surprise us. I was a convert to the idea after being given a chocolate bar lightly spiced with chili.
I'm not too fond of ketchup so it wouldn't work for me!
Thank you for the other recipes! Very much appreciated!!!👍👍👍And I also LOVE you're sense of humor!❤️
I don't know why but because I'm still tired, I thought you made a pun with fondue in your sentence. 😂😂😂😂
Aside from being a cornucopia of amazing recipes, this video really is a showcase of just how good John's gotten at making his content. The video quality, audio quality, the memes, you've aged like a fine wine Chef John!
i guess that one clove got ground up! such a distinct flavor.
did u use not turmeric for the mustard? psychologically need to be yellow 4 me.
I’ve been making BBQ sauce like that for years, it’s good.
As a person with odd food allergies thank you! I have allergies or "extreme sensitivity " to clove, cinnamon (there is cinnamon in foods that you have no idea why its there same with clove and nutmeg), coconut and its by products, walnuts( black ones primarily, english ones don't cause quite the same reaction), certain seafood like shrimp, crab and things like that but not sardines, anchovies or some other fish. Mine may have to do with where its harvested as much as what it is. Seaweed is that way so i avoid it all. I have many more ..tl;dr situation.
Knowing whats in them and seeing ways to make it and not use the offending ingredients is really helpful.
What a great video so many excellent sauces thank you so much Chef John. I was cracking up throughout the entire thing you are hilarious thanks for bringing some sparkle into my otherwise dull day lol 😂👏🏻💕
I love this compilation thank you.
You are right, after watching the ketchup recipe (the recipe that I watched the video for) I saw that it's not worth it and to be honest living in New Zealand the ingredients would cost more than just buying the ready made sauce. I may possibly make it once just for the experience but it's now at the bottom of my 'try to make' recipe list. I love your personality it's perfect for this channel. Xx
Yum! I love a good copycat recipe! I recently perfected the Chick-Fil-A cookie recipe and my life has never been the same! 🤣🤣
Chef... excellent video...love the recipes and how you present them 👍😊.
I'm doing the ranch on my (home made) burger tomorrow.
Horseradish grew on our old farm. I made Once-I was overcome with the fumes, this was before the food processors were invented. I love horseradish on my potatoes
Love this video. Thanks!
I must try this! Tks for sharing this recipe with us
The residue from ketch---why not bag and freeze to use in meatloaf or chili or meatballs?
We asked a chef why his blue cheese dressing was so good - he adds tomato juice! It really is a great addition. Twenty years on, I still add it. I only make about a cup at a time and add about a tablespoon.
More than just a collection of condiment recipes, it's a retrospective showcasing the evolution of the Chef John narration styles/inflections.
