Unless you can get it as smooth and pulp free as Heinz, you're not making ketchup, just tomato sauce.

This guy has a whole series on his channel of making ketchup out of weird stuff. From watching his vids I would say it's worth it

Just work it through a passe-vite and add xanthane or kudzu.

Yes it's just sieved tomato sauce ("passata") with thickening agents, based on an original Indonesian recipe.

>>17141569
I prefer in season "tomates anciennes" - heirloom tomatoes that were grown in France for looks, before the Italians turned them into the staple food we know today.

They don't need any extra acidity or sugar really.

>>17141569
I made some homemade ketchup about a week ago, and I tried using less sugar but it came out tasting like marinara sauce mixed with ketchup. You really need the sugar to have the right taste. Remember, it's not like you're eating a lot of the ketchup, it's a sauce and it needs to be highly seasoned to compete with other tastes.

That channel is actually pretty great. Guys, check it out if you're interested in fruits and spices you probably never heard of!

What do you actually need ketchup for? Ketchup is for children. There's no use for ketchup.
Fries? Make an aioli. Easy shit.
Burgers? Mayo, dijon, or garlic butter you fucking degenerate.
Steaks? Stop, just stop.

>passe-vite
that's faggot for food mill

>>17141569
>the unsweetened stuff is more expensive,
if you can't afford that, you won't be able to afford to make it.

>>17142460
oh look another "your condiment/food item is for children" except no it isn't it was made for adults like most foods are. but in your insecurity you have to prop up your ego somehow.

>>17141820
I made the same experience. It jist doesn't taste right without sugar. Same for every other convenient sauces too. Most of the flavour just comes from the high sugar and vinegar content nobody would use when making the sauce themself. You don't even need much of spices.

it's past your bedtime daniel

>>17142460
When did your insecurities start restricting your food choices?

>>17141820
did you use any vinegar or garlic powder?

Just use good canned puree or crushed. Find and compare ketchup recipes, experiment. I've made some a few times. It was good. I also learned that sugar and cinnamon and apple cider vinegar in a tomato puree will taste just like applesauce, so there's that.

>>17141569
yes
an old couple down the street from me sell fresh herbs, flowers, vegetables, fruit and also make pickles, relishes, chutneys and sauces from it all.
their home-made tomato sauce is hands down better than anything you can buy.
makes me wanna get into it too.

>>17142460
>Fries? Make an aioli.
>calls other children
>uses hipster mayo

>>17141569
I made a few cups of green heirloom tomato ketchup at the end of summer with apple cider vinegar and served it with pork shoulder and it almost sickened me the orgiastic way everyone smeared it all over everything. But I never told them it was ketchup, I just put it out there as an unnamed sauce. Unfortunately I didn’t track or keep hold of the recipe since I was convinced it’d be a failure. If making ketchup, I strongly recommend making it a nonstandard color and sitting back and watching the unwashed masses slather it on everything.

>Using Mayo on Burgers

You fucking cretin

>>17141569
Except for fries, ketchup is for faggots and children. That said, there is no ketchup but Heinz. That's it. Every artisanal attempt is a fucking joke. Anyone can make mustard. Only Heinz makes ketchup. Simple as.

>>17144565
>I can't cook and polite family members (I don't have friends btw) tried to hide their disgust from my results

>>17144808
Are you retarded? Mayo is absolutely required on a burg. Catsup and mustard should not be on one, tho

>>17141569
Chef John did it only because so many people requested it. If your life is incredibly boring and lacks purpose, you can do it too!
Interesting trivia, there are hundreds of millions of people alive today whose lives are incredibly boring and lack purpose.

Ketchup on hot dogs is ancient sumerian god tier

>>17145257

putting literally anything on hot dogs or hamburgers just ruins them.

>x is for children

said every loser trying to be an adult

you make me sick.

>>17141569
Anon might I suggest that if you haven't, you should actually try unsweetened ketchup and see if you even like it before you go down that road because unsweetened ketchup is... well not very "ketchupy." It tastes like someone spilled vinegar into salty marinara sauce

>>17145236
No u

>It tastes like someone spilled vinegar into salty marinara sauce
