To reduce the sodium content simply omit the salt. Regular ketchup is chock full of sugar, salt, preservatives and all sorts of things you probably don't want to think about. Specialty ketchups cost about $3 for a small bottle, and is still full of sugar. With this recipe you can make 12 ounces for for about 60¢. It tastes best after the seasonings have a chance to blend, but it can be used right away in a pinch. It tastes very good too, similar to regular ketchup only fresher tasting, and not so cloying and overly sweet. The first time Fred tasted this he asked me if I made it or if was store-bought. If you're an experimental cook then you'll understand that this is not necessarily a good thing. In this case though, it was. I admitted I had invented the recipe and he immediately confiscated the jar and made it his own. That was several years ago. Since then we hardly ever buy store-bought ketchup anymore. Fred makes it himself whenever we run low and has taken to doubling the recipe whenever he mixes up a batch. As written this recipe makes 12-ounces or 24 servings, 1-tablespoon each.
