Good morning, @dequeen. It's wonderful that we can make ketchup at home and add other spices to give it the flavor we like best. You've done a great job explaining in detail everything you did to create this intense red sauce with its pleasant garlic flavor.

I've never made ketchup before, and your post is motivating because if we make it at home, we can be sure of good quality ingredients, and we'll have a tomato sauce full of flavor. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with the challenge.
