Love cooking from scratch? Me too. In the coming weeks, I am going to share several of my "cooking from scratch" recipes. Here is a popular one-- how to make your own ketchup.

Here's what you need:

• 1 can whole tomatoes
• 1 onion chopped
• 2/3 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of celery salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

Here's what to do:

• Blend the tomatoes
• Cook the onion in oil for 7-8 minutes
• Mix in other ingredients into the cooked onions and simmer one hour
• Blend the entire mixture
• Chill and serve

Inexpensive, quick (Prep time under 10 minutes), and easy . . . this one will spoil you!
