You can make your own ketchup. It’s not that difficult nor expensive if you get tomatoes in season or grow your own.

I grow and put up a lot of our food - mainly tomatoes and peppers, sweet and hot.

Ketchup is ONE thing I will NOT waste good tomatoes on. It takes a TON of tomatoes to make ketchup and lots of sugar. Never understood how it caught on, due to that fact alone - but I guess it’s a good use for ‘scratch and dent’ tomatoes. ;)

Salsa, Bloody Mary Mix, V-8 Juice, Pasta Sauce and dehydrated - those are my standard uses for tomatoes.

Beau likes ketchup on his scrambled eggs - I prefer Salsa. ;)
