Tomato Ketchup image

The quality of your ingredients counts for a lot here. Don't bother making ketchup until you can get luscious, ripe tomatoes. Grape tomatoes work, but feel free to use plum tomatoes instead. You want a meaty tomato for this, so save delicate heirlooms for salads. Many ketchup recipes call for loads of spices, but this one is kept simple with just a little black pepper and Worcestershire sauce for complexity - a close approximation to that inimitable flavor of classic Heinz, without the high-fructose corn syrup.
