House Brand Catsup, because making catsup is easy!

Got Catsup? Fortunately, it is one of those condiments that is so easy to make. 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 out for a bottle of catsup ever again! 

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. And what is a pile of golden french fries, without a spot of catsup? 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.

Whether you cook with catsup or just squirt some on a hot dog, from time to time you might as well make your own. Why you ask? Well let's take a look:

• It will be made with your preferred ingredients.
• It will be convenient, all ingredients are found in a well-stocked pantry. 
• And you can adjust the final flavor profile for your family. 
• House Brand Catsup will be your house catsup too!
• 
  

We have two distinct catsup user styles in our little family. My husband is a table sauce user and I am the flavoring condiment user 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!
