cheryl on 2026-03-16 (5 stars): I've made this twice now. I've tried several other low sodium ketchup recipes but this one is the best so far. I didn't add any salt at all, so it is a little bit lower. The consistency is just right.
Laura Duke-Isle on 2025-11-15 (5 stars): I love this recipe!! A few years ago I quit eating anything processed, and that includes condiments. I've tried several homemade ketchup recipes and they were horrible, but this recipe wins a FIVE out of FIVE!! My husband couldn't tell which was store bought and which one I made!! It's that good!! Thank you guys for sharing it!!
egb on 2025-08-13 (5 stars): So… I didn’t even heat it up. I used half the amount of honey, twice the garlic and onion and added some hot sauce. Put it all in a mason jar and shook it up a lot. Delicioso!!
Cheri Levin on 2025-08-08 (5 stars): This ketchup was amazing, so easy to make, so quick and the taste was fabulous
Tanya on 2025-07-03 (5 stars): This is so easy and quick to make. I had all the ingredients on hand. The finished product is delicious and far superior to anything I've ever purchased at the supermarket.
Caro on 2025-06-13 (5 stars): Better than Heinz, and easy to make. Also it keeps pretty long. Mine lasted over 2 weeks in the fridge without freezing
GramLiz on 2025-06-13 (5 stars): What a great idea!
Danielle on 2025-05-24 (5 stars): My husband and I won't eat any other ketchup! It's so delicious 😋
Tanya on 2025-05-17 (4 stars): I made the recipe as is, it’s good, however, just a little too sweet for me.
Gigi on 2025-04-30 (5 stars): Yummy! I'll never buy ketchup again. Add more or less water for desired thickness.
Griselda on 2025-04-29 (5 stars): This is the best! I can’t eat store bought ketchup again. The whole family loved it. I make this for my homemade bbq sauce too and it makes all the difference.
