Steps:
- Place all the vegetables in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan with a big splash of olive oil and the ginger, garlic, chili, basil stalks, coriander seeds and cloves. Season with the pepper and a good pinch of salt.
- Cook gently over a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until softened, stirring every so often. Add all the tomatoes and 1 1/2 cups of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer gently until the sauce reduces by half.
- Add the basil leaves, then whiz the sauce in a food processor or with a hand blender and push it through a sieve twice, to make it smooth and shiny. Put the sauce into a clean pan and add the vinegar and the sugar. Place the sauce on the heat and simmer until it reduces and thickens to the consistency of tomato ketchup. At this point, correct the seasoning to taste.
- Spoon the ketchup through a sterilized funnel into sterilized bottles, then seal tightly and place in a cool dark place or the refrigerator until needed - it should keep for 6 months.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the tomatoes into large chunks. Distribute the tomatoes, onions, red pepper and garlic on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and the onions are lightly caramelized. While the tomatoes are roasting, prepare your spiced vinegar. Puree the tomatoes, onions, red pepper and garlic very finely in a food processor and strain through a fine sieve into a heavy pot. Strain the spice vinegar mixture into the tomato puree (discard the whole spices), add the paprika and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently until the mixture has reduced by about half and mounds in a spoon. It will thicken as it cools. Season with additional salt if needed. Spoon the mixture into sterilized jars with sterilized lids and refrigerate. It will keep in your refrigerator for about a month. (Or you may preserve it by classic canning methods.) Spiced vinegar: 1 cup apple cider or your favorite vinegar 3/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1 stick cinnamon, crushed 1 teaspoon mustard seeds 1 teaspoon celery seed 1 teaspoon whole allspice 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, remove from the heat and let steep for 20-30 minutes.
Tips:
- For a sweeter ketchup, use ripe tomatoes. If your tomatoes are not very ripe, you may need to add a bit of sugar to taste.
- If you like your ketchup with a little bit of a kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- For a smoky flavor, roast the tomatoes before making the ketchup. You can roast them in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or on a grill over medium heat for about 15 minutes per side.
- If you don't have time to make your own ketchup, you can use store-bought ketchup as a base. Just add some of your favorite spices and herbs to taste.
- Ketchup can be used as a condiment for burgers, hot dogs, fries, and other foods. It can also be used as an ingredient in sauces, marinades, and glazes.
Conclusion:
Homemade tomato ketchup is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a ketchup, give this homemade recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
