Steps:
- In a saucepan, stir together all of the ingredients until combined and bring everything to a simmer.
- Allow the ketchup to simmer, while stirring often, for about 5-10 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and everything is well combined.
- If the ketchup is too thick, you can add more water 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. I like using 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of water total for my ketchup.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired, adding more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tartness or salt for saltiness.
- Turn off the heat and allow the ketchup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar or container.

Tips:
- Select ripe and fresh tomatoes: The quality of your ketchup will depend on the quality of your tomatoes. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes with a deep red color and no blemishes.
- Use a food mill or strainer to remove the seeds and skins from the tomatoes: This will give you a smooth, velvety ketchup.
- Add sugar and vinegar to taste: The amount of sugar and vinegar you add will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
- Simmer the ketchup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Can or bottle the ketchup while it is still hot: This will help to preserve it.
