Homemade Ketchup the Old-Fashioned Way

HOMEMADE OLD-FASHIONED KETCHUP/POTATO & STEAK DIPPING SAUCE

This recipe started as a mad scientist in the kitchen lab sort of thing, and ended up as culinary genius. Because I made this without a recipe, the measurements I wrote down afterward are approximations. What does that mean for you?

You have free license to PLAY with the ingredients, and adjust their measurements to suit your own palette. This was probably one of the best foods I’ve ever created. I will never eat fried potatoes without reaching for this again. Yes, it’s that good. I’m not a ketchup-on-a-steak kind of girl, but this made my already excellent steak into a mind-blowing steak. It’s worth trying it on your own.

**These measurements are approximations, that I wrote down after the ketchup was already made and eaten. It was amazingly delicious and so I wanted to try to recapture the process for the future.
