Got Catsup? Catsup goes with just about everything and is frequently a called-for ingredient in many recipes. Ever thought about making your own? House Brand Catsup is easy to make, calling for basic pantry ingredients, and no more running to the market for a bottle of catsup ever again!
Catsup is a condiment, but it is also a called for ingredient in recipes.
Catsup is pretty much used year-round, but it seems to be in high demand in the summertime. Perfect over a grilled sausage, burger patty, or on a hot dog. Not to mention that pile of golden French fries. But catsup is not just a table sauce, it is also a flavoring condiment called for in many recipes. Such as this Melt in Your Mouth Meat Loaf or Vintage Oven BBQ Pork Chops. And don't forget the beans! Homemade (No)Pork and Beans are perfect for any cookout! And those recipes are why we make House Brand Catsup.
Homemade catsup is easy!
Whether you cook with catsup or just squirt some on a hot dog, you will want to make your own. Why you ask? Well let's take a look:
- It can be made with your preferred ingredients.
- It is convenient, all ingredients can be found in a well-stocked pantry.
- And you can adjust the final flavor profile for your family.
- House Brand Catsup just might be your favorite catsup too!
How many catsup users are in your family?
We have two distinct catsup user styles in our blended family. My husband and Son in Law are table sauce users and the women in the family namely myself and my daughter are the flavoring condiment users for cooking. Fortunately, House Brand Catsup suits us both and I no longer have to worry if I am using up the last of the bottle before grocery day...
This recipe for House Brand Catsup stirs together quickly and you will love the convenience of on-demand catsup! Plus it requires no cooking, but you will need a storage container. To be honest a leftover catsup bottle from the past, is a great storage container for your own homemade version, especially for little to be able to serve their own portions. We tend to use a jar with a tight fitting storage cap.
Ingredients needed for this recipe:
- tomato paste
- white vinegar
- apple cider vinegar
- sugar
- brown sugar
- honey
- salt
- onion powder
- cayenne pepper
- cloves
- allspice
- dry mustard
You will also need:
- medium-size mixing bowl
- can opener
- whisk
- silicone spatula
- measuring cup
- measuring spoons
- storage jar with lid
Now we are ready to begin!

It is also convenient if used as an ingredient in cooking, because before you know it, the bottle is empty! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteA good recipe to have. I can't tell you how many times I run out of ketchup.. thanks
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, I like that we can choose the ingredients...
DeleteNever thought about making it but now I know how!! Thanks so much for linking up with me at the Unlimited Link Party 26. Pinned!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Dee, thanks again for hosting.
Deleteis catsup the same as ketchup? yes it's always good to make one's own condiments. you know what's in them:-)
ReplyDeleteI think there are two spellings, because it is so popular! Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
DeleteI haven't made ketchup in YEARS -- I used to in the old days when I was big on canning.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you could can this, but it is especially handy when you use catsup as an ingredient...
DeleteAmazed at how many 'sweet' items are in it!!
ReplyDeleteYes there are three small amount of sweetener in this recipe. However much less than commercially prepared catsup. According to Insider.com https://www.insider.com/sugar-in-condiments-nutrition-facts-2019-8, a 20 ounce bottle of Heinz catsup has 2/3 c of sugar. While this homemade version contains only 1/4 c total "sugars". But honestly catsup would only be tomato sauce without a bit of sweet flavor. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
DeleteI am pinning this one, catsup is probably the most used condiment in our house. Thank you so sharing on Fiesta Friday.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, this is especially handy for cooking with! So many good recipes call for catsup, and before you know it, the bottle is empty...

DeleteYou know, I never thought of making homemade ketchup. It makes sense and when Made in large quantities and canned will save a lot of money. And no unnecessary additives.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this recipe with Sweet Tea & Friends this month dear friend.
Hi Paula, while this catsup is perfect for making fresh, I do not think I would can it. I tend to think of a recipe like this one as a pantry recipe over preserving and canning. I like it because it is so simple and makes up in a jiffy! Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
