Ingredients

Scale
  • One box 750-gram box strained tomatoes, or 1, 28-ounce can tomato purée
  • 1/2 cup minced white onion
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons molasses
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot, combine all of the ingredients and stir together with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a slow boil, then lower to a simmer and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot every 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce reduces by half, about 1 hour; it should thickly coat the back of a spoon.  Remove from the heat and let cool.
  2. In a blender or with an immersion blender, whiz until ketchup is silky smooth.
  3. Store in a lidded glass jar or squeeze bottle in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
