Did you face any difficulty in the preparation of the ketchup at home?

Not at all , Making process is very easy. It was just need time and attention especially for developing taste and actual color of ketchup. I didn't face any sort of difficulty in the preparation for ketchup at home.

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

I believe that it's free of all the preservatives that are used to keep ketchup useful for a long Time. The using ingredients are all fresh and home-made taste is very delicious, salty, sweety and sour. I fried nuggets for kids and served with homemade Garlic Tomatoes Ketchup. Kids liked taste and happily enjoyed healthy snacks time.
