Homemade ketchup with starch for winter

Prepare the tomatoes: wash them, dry them, remove the stalks and chop coarsely. Peel and chop the onion, then chop it and the tomatoes with a blender. Add finely chopped garlic (or you can squeeze it) and spices to the vegetable mixture.

Put the resulting mixture on the fire and, stirring, bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and cook the future ketchup for 30-35 minutes, after which it needs to be wiped through a sieve.

Add vinegar and sugar to the resulting puree, mix well. Now the mixture must be brought to a boil again and simmer for 10 minutes over low heat. Do not forget to stir the future ketchup!

At this time, it is necessary to prepare starch: dilute 2 tsp of powder with cold water, mix so that there are no lumps. Add the prepared starch to the vegetable mixture, stir thoroughly, bring to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Ketchup is ready! Pour it into sterilized jars, close with boiled lids, leave to cool in a warm place, turning the jars upside down.

Ketchup must be stored in the refrigerator (no longer than six months). Now you can eat your favorite dishes with homemade ketchup!
