Home made Ketchup

Fresh, plum and red tomatoes are in season and they are quite cheap. So I thought to myself " life is giving you fresh tomatoes, why not make ketchup out of them". Home made is always best as you have full control of what goes in. No preservatives, no additives and no artificial colours. This ketchup is perfect for fries, burgers, chops and even as a pizza sauce😋
