To make new things, it is advisable to abide by the rules and instructions given. Using the same measurements will help attend to a pleasing results. My first time of making homemade ketchup turn excellent and a excited about that.

Reading this contest,I was curious thinking of outcome but after that preparation, I have 💯/💯 yummy and palatable taste .

What do you say about the taste and freshness of the homemade ketchup which you have prepared as compared to the market ketchup?

There is a big difference in taste, note that in the preparation of this homemade ketchup we use fresh, natural ingredients while supermarket bought ketchup may contain high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavours and preservatives.

The taste,the texture is superior to what got at the super stores.

Homemade ketchup has quality preparation with low sugar and sodium contain and it is complex, nuanced flavour profile.

I really appreciate the challenge because I never thought of preparing ketchup at home.
