I’m starting over. When my kids were all growing up I canned all the time. After my divorce at 50 I bought my first home by myself and I’m buying canning jars and water bath canner back. My grandson helps me garden. I’m 74 and told my grandson I wanted to make ketchup next. Thanks for showing me how to make it easier.
I love how you deal with "feeling overwhelmed and getting to a better place" when your garden is producing an over abundance . It's awesome to get the how-to video and a life lesson at the same time. I have never made ketchup before thinking I would have to cook all the tomato juice forever to get it thickened up. Your version using tomato juice, paste, Mrs. Wage's mix and honey is exactly what I need! Thank you, Rachel!! And God bless all the Canuary contributors!
What a great video! Never thought ketchup would be so easy to make. This looks like it would be delicious on top of a meatloaf! My favorite meal!! Thank you.
I love your recipes! Thank you so much for sharing all the canning/recipe ideas. My bestie and I are new to canning. Her husband has recently been diagnosed with inoperable cancer. I am able to pull your recipes, can with her for an afternoon, take her mind off all the bad stuff. Pls keep sharing! I appreciate the difference you’re making in our day to day!
I made it! I canned up 6 pints last night, after receiving my Mrs Wages and steam canner. I used 3 quarts of tomatoes that were getting a bit old to keep on the shelf. I did use the sugar. I tasted it just before putting it into the jars and dang!!!!! It is SO, SO good. I am going to try the honey version as well. The steam canner was so easy compared to water bath! Thank you so very much Rachel.
Hi Rachel! When I spent summers with my grandmother she ALWAYS had an abundance of tomatoes . I think we must have canned a hundred quarts of tomatoes in every way possible. Funny story- we were exhausted of canning everything their 2 acre garden provided- especially burnt out with tomatoes. My grandpa brought in 1 last #3 washtub of tomatoes and promised that was all for the season. My grandmother thanked him then she proceeded to carry that washtub full of tomatoes and dumped them in the large compost bin. 😂 she came back into the house laughing and yelled ‘hallelujah’! I was never so happy that summer and learned there are ways to handle stress with grace and humor. Oh, and then close to hundred tomato plants sprung up in the compost bin with the promise to have another prosperous tomato harvest again. 😁 Thank you Rachel , Leisa and 4 Jars for all of your work to make Canuary 2024 a success! I LOVE CANUARY!
Appreciate your reminder about just canning up the plain tomatoes to not get overwhelmed, and then can turn them into separate products later when there is more time and/or need. Really great! Love idea of using honey instead of white sugar. Thank you for sharing this recipe, and really love this collaboration. The cute pop graphics at the end, love them!
The sounds of the lids popping is my favorite sound when canning. I have never canned ketchup, but I will because I have tomato sauce in my pantry. Thank you for participating in Canuary. Thank you Suttons Daze and Forjars for sponsoring Canuary 2024.
These Canuary video's over the last couple of years actually gave me the courage to start canning. I grew up with a mom who barely knew how to cook and her only food preservation tool was a freezer. I always dreamed of having a large garden and being able to stock a pantry from that garden. 4 years ago we bought a small piece of land in Idaho and today I have my own pantry. This collaborative has helped so many of us create basic food security for our families, thank you so much Rachel for being such an inspiration
I made a lot of ketchup for the first time last year using Mrs. Wages and we love it! Like you, I also added extra tomato paste to thicken my ketchup so I didn't have to reduce the tomatoes too much. My grandkids told me the homemade ketchup tastes better than the store ketchup too! I loved your suggestion of using honey instead of the sugar. I will be trying that trick when I make the ketchup again as I think it's important to reduce the granulated sugar intake too. Thank you for sharing this canning project. I love adding homemade sauces to my pantry that can be used to make a variety of meals. Thank you for participating in Canuary 2024 and thank you to ForJars for your sponsorship and your awesome lids and thank you to Leisa Sutton at Suttons Daze for making this collaboration happen!
When I was a kid, my dad thought it would be a good idea to plant 3 acres of tomatoes for some reason. I don't think he and mom were particularly happy with it later - especially since my mom didn't even do canning - but us kids loved having an unending supply of tomatoes to steal off the vine and snack on without having to go inside. I remember thinking we were getting away with something, but in retrospect, I'm sure they were thankful we were making any kind of dent in them. If only we'd been a canning family, i think we definitely could have made use of this recipe.
My Mom used to can ketchup way back when! I never cared for it but I didn't know Mrs, Wages made a ketchup pack. I will definitely try this as I have liked the products I have made from Mrs Wage! I love your videos and have referred to them alot..thank you Rachel and also anyone involved in this collaboration.
I look forward to every 'That 1870's Homestead' video! Rachel, it is awesome that you are one of the participants of Canuary 2024. I've had the "Mrs Wages Home Canning guide & recipes" book for years and have yet to make any of the recipes from it. Now I'm really glad that I have it because I wrote notes from this video in the margins on the page this recipe is printed (page 36)! Thanks to all of this year's participants!
Thank you Rachel for the catsup recipe as it is so much healthier than what is offered in the grocery store. Thank you Leisa and For Jars for sponsoring Canuary. It has been inspiring. Julia
In HS I had a friend who canned ketchup and said "never again" as she had splashes all over her kitchen so I have never tried. Well you have changed my mind. Thank you for participating in this collaboration. You are awesome and so knowledgeable. Thanks to Leisa and Formats for hosting this series. Blessings
Thank you Rachel for the ketchup canning video! I LOVE the fact that you made this with honey… any opportunity to reduce white sugar is a win for us! I also appreciate the reminder to take our new canning ideas into consideration in our garden planning! It is that time again.
I'm so glad that I found all the canuary videos. Everyone has been so helpful in helping us newbies. This gardening season will be so exciting. Thank. You all.
I've been thinking about making our own ketchup for awhile now. I often say ketchup is at its heart chutney. The history of ketchup is fascinating. It's commonly one of the first strong flavors introduced to infants. Which is why adding ketchup when introducing new foods to picky toddlers often works. Almost like somewhere deep inside us we believe "ketchup fixes everything." 😉
I found out also Mrs. Wages is the best way to make ketchup. Busy farmwifes and homesteads need to have some short cuts to get all our canning done. Great Canuary!
I bought myself a steam canner this summer. Wow, I really appreciate how much quicker it gets to temp and can start timing the process. Will have to try doing some ketchup now. Thank you for all your videos, I continue to learn a lot.
I hope we have a big harvest of tomatoes this year. We go through so much ketchup. My kids put ketchup on their ketchup. Going too look for the packets when I finally go to the store. Might cheat a bit and buy the canned tomato sauce to just try it out. Thanks to you all for putting this collaboration together! Good luck to everyone !!
I have been searching for a ketchup recipe for years. I so excited to try this. My Grandma and I tried ketchup about 40 years ago and it was so runny that i have never tried again……. Until now! Thank you!
I certainly relate to the end of garden season and being a bit burned out on canning. Sure is nice to be able to upscale them into something new and really have time to enjoy (and share) something new. Thanks for being on this collaboration list for Canuary 2024
Rachel I understand feeling overwhelmed by so many tomatoes. I always planet around 30 tomato plants. My father in law is like I don't that's going to be enough tomatoes for everyone. Before I know it he's planted around 100 more plants. So I am canning tomato products all summer and fall.
Thanks for this recipe Rachel. Nice to have you back, have missed you and Todd in the kitchen. Thank you also to Leisa and Forjars for sponsoring this collaboration.
Thank you Rachel for such a great addition to Canuary! I’ve never canned ketchup before or used Mrs. Wages, so this was encouraging…love all the tips. This collaboration is so much fun. I appreciate Leisa at Suttonsdaze and For Jars for sponsoring this!
I giggled at your using a drill to run your food mill. My husband once tried to use a drill to run our ice cream churn. Maybe it was because he used a high torque drill, all I can say is thank goodness we were outdoors.
I don't use much Katchup but the grandkids do, I can make enough for them to have on their shelf saving them some money and the the joy of canning it! thanks for participating in this wonderful collaboration.
Tomatoes are the "gateway drug" to canning. Once you start, you will be amazed at all of the different foods/condiments that you can easily make. I love homemade ketchup. 😊 and yours looks so easy.
This past summer was my first time canning after I helped a friend make homemade jam. I ended up going to a market and they were selling 25 lbs of tomatoes for $5. I bought 150 lbs for $30 dollars but I was never so glad to get them all canned. A lot of work but love having all kind of tomato products ie spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, diced etc. And it all tastes so good
I've never heard of steam canning until I saw this u-tube video that had been posted on Gab. That looks very interesting to try. I try to have as much variety in my garden as possible, as I feel it's so important to eat your own grown foods over store bought. And for me it's even more important as I have no immune system due to fighting leukemia. I do have to be careful in the garden because the soil can contains things that would be very harmful for me, but i don't let that stop me. I had meningo-encephalitis 2 1/2 years ago which has some permanent symptoms such as double vision and balance issues, but i just ignore those symptoms and keep on plugging along. I'm exhausted by the end of the season, but it all keeps me active and is helping me to heal as well.
Yes!!!! " Not another tomato!!" 😅 I lived that this year! I was over my head with tomatoes so I threw them in the freezer. Then, I thought I had processed all the bags out of the freezer until we had to shuffle with incoming beef and found 2 more gallon bags!!! 🥴 I had a tantrum and threw them back to the bottom of the deep freeze! Looks like it will be ketchup! Thanks for sharing Rachel, I am always inspired by your content ❤️❤️
Came for Canuary, staying for more gardening stuff too! Can't wait for my over-producing tomato plants this summer... I might actually USE them all! LOL
I know that boiling water and steam are the same temperature, and yet, steam canning seems like a little bit of magic. Maybe it's something I need to learn for this year. Thank you.
This Canuary collaboration makes making ketchup with Mrs. Wages look easy. I like your use of the canned tomato sauce to make this recipe. The explanation and use of the steam canner is helpful because Leisa is giving one away as well as other prizes. Thank you!
I love the idea of using honey instead of sugar! Thank you for being a part of Canuary.. I learn a lot from your videos... Thanks to Leisa at Suttons daze and ForJars for sponsoring. This month has gone by really fast. Thanks again!
I've tried making ketchup for years and never have gotten quite right. I finally gave up. After watching your video you have inspired me to try again. Hope you keep making great videos. I learn so much!
This past summer I had an abundance of Tomatoes even though I got them in the ground late and I never thought to make Ketchup. Ketchup will now be on this summer's list of things to can. Thanks for the great homesteading videos and for being a part of Canuary.
I've never made ketchup and all of your suggestions on how to adjust to make it thicker are really helpful. Mrs. Wages is new to me so thank you for the affiliate link. I'll have to go back to your video to see if you commented whether the honey substitution was 1:1 (1.5 cups of honey) or modified. Great, perfectly-timed, garden suggestion to plant at least 5 types of tomatoes to get fuller flavor. This is my first Canuary and I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Thanks for your relaxed, helpful contributions, Rachel! I loved the little POP's at the end. :) And thanks to @suttonsdaze and @forjars for sponsoring Canuary 2024..
Mrs. Rachel, I cannot THANK you enoufh for a different Ketchup! I hace made several and they're just "good"; but, none have been "GREAT"! I will be trying this one, today! THANK YOU for sharing
Love Mrs Wages and glad to see someone use there products...no shame in my game they are a great timesaver and there line makes a very consistant product. Thank you and the other collaborators for all you do for our canning community.
Rachel you are the go to for "let's put this up however we can because there is an abundance so we can figure out what to make/can in the winter slow season". I love these videos! Thank you!
I am new to canning, I am definitely going to be trying this one. For the past 8 month's my family and I have had bumps in the road with my health. I don't just want, I need to step it up for this year's ahead. I do lots in my gardening but this year didn't happen for me and I have missed it. This year my kiddos will be helping me to get it done, God willing. 🙏 I love watching you guys, and I am ready to go full steam ahead with my canning for health, "new healthy living." From your playlist of TH-cam family, I watch a few but looking forward to watching the ones I haven't seen yet. God bless and be safe 🙏 ❤️
Thank you for showing us how to use a steam canner! I'm glad to know you can basically "re-can" things, too! I appreciate you taking the time to share these things with us.
My son asked me last year to make him some ketchup and it was a nightmare. I followed the ketchup recipe for ball and it never really tasted or set the way it needed. I am feeling more courage to try again seeing that you also had issues. Thank you Rachel for the idea and yes I am going to go and make this right away so my son has his homemade Ketchup for his birthday.
I've never canned Ketchup before. It looks so good, I love ketchup and it's so expensive at the store. I wish we had a better variety of Mrs Wages here. I had no idea they made Ketchup. Thanks for sharing!
I'm 54 and just now excited about learning the art of canning and baking bread. You all have been great to watch and learn from. Thanks for sharing with us ❤
Thank you for sharing the ketchup recipe. My husband and kids get excited when a new Todd and Rachel recipe shows up in our feed (We use Todd’s sausage Alfredo recipe ALL THE TIME). You both inspire us to be graceful with our aspirations while trying new things and pursuing our passions. It isn’t easy getting out of our comfort zones, but necessary for growth. I don’t can just yet, but getting the motivation and encouragement from all the great Canuary videos. I specifically appreciate the multi-use reference for tomato sauce. I used your recipe for enchilada sauce (with store bought tomato sauce) on a burrito casserole and it was excellent. Can’t wait to try this one out and impress the fam.
I love replacing store bought items with "homemade" removing chemicals and things we can't pronounce. I want to try ketchup with some spice in it. Think I can use this and just add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce. I had to giggle when you talked about the abundance of tomatoes. Had a neighbor last year that kept bringing me cucumbers about 30 lbs at a time - augghh I never thought I'd get thru them all (want to guess what neighbors got for Christmas?) Thankful and blessed and loving the retirement life that gives me the time to garden and can.
I love to see folks using the steam canner. I purchased one not that long ago but never feel comfortable using anything new until I see lots of videos to build my confidence. Thanks!
Hello Rachel and thank you for your video today for ketchup! I made a sugar free ketchup several years ago, but for the life of me I cannot find it. I have been searching and searching, but no luck! I never thought about a seasoning package, but I appreciate you sharing this. Thank you also to Suttons Daze and ForJars for this CANUARY 2024 collaboration!
Rachel thank you so much for your contribution to Canuary! I’ve tried a lot of Mrs. Wages seasoning/Canning mixtures but I had no idea they made one for ketchup. I’ve been pleased with any of the other mixtures I’ve tried so far. I think my grand children would drink ketchup through a straw if I would let them.
I have been making ketchup for my kids and now grandkids for almost 40 years. I know what goes into the ketchup. And no red dyes which my son and 2 of grandsons are sensitive to. Never thought of using a drill!!! That will be a try next summer.
I made ketchup last year and swore that I would never do it again, but after tasting it enjoying its rich flavor, and knowing what is in it. I will be doing it again. Thanks for sharing.
I never canned ketchup simply because everyone says it's not as good as bought and it kills me to waste ingredients to try it out. BUT, maybe I will with Mrs. Wages. I like her salsa packet. Thank you for sharing!
Homemade ketchup a few years ago, and convince my son to taste it. He went home with the jar. And now I need more and I don't remember which recipe I used! LOL.
Never used Mrs Wages mixes yet and have A LOT of plain tomato sauce in quarts from last couple years. Would have never thought about making ketchup with my plain sauce already canned up along with Mrs Wages 🤦🏻♀️. My husband loves ketchup and ketchup is not inexpensive as it was 2-3 years ago ($5.98 for 3 bottles at Sam’s club to $10.98 for 3 bottles today, crazy)! Thank you so much for this video! For sure, I’m going to be canning up some Mrs Wages Ketchup! Love your channel!
Stumbled upon your channel and thankful that I did. Overwhelmed with tomato's last fall and needed ideas on how to process and not lose them. Thank you!
Glad to know that I'm not alone in that burned out feeling during the canning seasoning. I love homemade catsup. Glad to know about Mrs wages. Enjoy your meatloaf..one of my favorite meals too
For a long time I have wanted to can condiments, but have put off trying to do that. Now that I see how easy it is to do, I will make some this summer. The variety of recipes that all of you are sharing with us is awesome. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos. And thanks to Leisa for heading this project up each year.
Rachael, I am so glad you did this recipe as I have been searching for a Ketchup canning recipe also. I am also interested in the steam canner versatility and appreciate so many of the ladies doing these Canuary videos are showing us how to use them.
I love seeing you using Mrs. Wages. I’ve never used the ketchup. Will definitely do this. How much easier and quicker than using fresh tomatoes. Thank you for being part of Canuary. I love watching this every year. Blessings.
My husband is a ketchup eating freak! We go through a lot, so I am excited to try this to make for the pantry and get his approval 😊 thanks so much for your video, and have a blessed day
I love homemade anything. I have developed several allergies to store bought foods. Watching you has given me hope I don’t have to give up things like ketchup. Thank you so much
I’m starting over. When my kids were all growing up I canned all the time. After my divorce at 50 I bought my first home by myself and I’m buying canning jars and water bath canner back. My grandson helps me garden. I’m 74 and told my grandson I wanted to make ketchup next. Thanks for showing me how to make it easier.
I love how you deal with "feeling overwhelmed and getting to a better place" when your garden is producing an over abundance . It's awesome to get the how-to video and a life lesson at the same time.

Your version using tomato juice, paste, Mrs. Wage's mix and honey is exactly what I need! Thank you, Rachel!! And God bless all the Canuary contributors!
What a great video! Never thought ketchup would be so easy to make. This looks like it would be delicious on top of a meatloaf! My favorite meal!! Thank you.
I have tried forjars lids and love them. Already bought mine for next summer.
Love Mrs Wages I want to make Spicey ketchup.
I love your recipes! Thank you so much for sharing all the canning/recipe ideas. My bestie and I are new to canning. Her husband has recently been diagnosed with inoperable cancer. I am able to pull your recipes, can with her for an afternoon, take her mind off all the bad stuff. Pls keep sharing! I appreciate the difference you’re making in our day to day!
I made it! I canned up 6 pints last night, after receiving my Mrs Wages and steam canner. I used 3 quarts of tomatoes that were getting a bit old to keep on the shelf. I did use the sugar. I tasted it just before putting it into the jars and dang!!!!! It is SO, SO good. I am going to try the honey version as well. The steam canner was so easy compared to water bath! Thank you so very much Rachel.
Hi Rachel! When I spent summers with my grandmother she ALWAYS had an abundance of tomatoes . I think we must have canned a hundred quarts of tomatoes in every way possible. Funny story- we were exhausted of canning everything their 2 acre garden provided- especially burnt out with tomatoes.

My grandmother thanked him then she proceeded to carry that washtub full of tomatoes and dumped them in the large compost bin. 😂 she came back into the house laughing and yelled ‘hallelujah’!

I'm so glad you gave us options on how not to be so overwhelmed during harvest season
I freeze the last of my tomatoes and do spaghetti sauce after I catch my breath!
My Mom used to can ketchup way back when! I never cared for it but I didn't know Mrs, Wages made a ketchup pack. I will definitely try this as I have liked the products I have made from Mrs Wage! I love your videos and have referred to them alot..thank you Rachel and also anyone involved in this collaboration.
I use Mrs. Wages too. I don’t remember ever seeing a ketchup one before. But gonna check it out 😂
I look forward to every 'That 1870's Homestead' video! Rachel, it is awesome that you are one of the participants of Canuary 2024.

I have a steam canner but have never used it. 2024 will be the year!!
I'm so glad that I found all the canuary videos.
Everyone has been so helpful in helping us newbies. This gardening season will be so exciting.
Thank. You all.

I've used Ms.Wages but have also done it the old-fashioned way. Ms.Wages saves us time as no one has time. Lol
This is great! I've always wanted to make my own ketchup! Thank you for this video!
I certainly relate to the end of garden season and being a bit burned out on canning. Sure is nice to be able to upscale them into something new and really have time to enjoy (and share) something new. Thanks for being on this collaboration list for Canuary 2024
Oh Rachel it’s because I was looking for an enchilada sauce recipie that I am now binge watching canuary videos. 😂
I need to try Canning ketchup 😊
You just can't have too many tomatoes, in my humble opinion.Thanks for sharing!
My mom was a beekeeper! I have a 30 pound bucket that is still half full. This recipe might be in my future
That “pop” is always music to my ears!
Rachel I understand feeling overwhelmed by so many tomatoes. I always planet around 30 tomato plants. My father in law is like I don't that's going to be enough tomatoes for everyone. Before I know it he's planted around 100 more plants. So I am canning tomato products all summer and fall.
Oh I know the feeling about collecting tomatoes at the end of the season lol
We honestly don’t use much ketchup we don’t even use a bottle a year ! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for this recipe Rachel. Nice to have you back, have missed you and Todd in the kitchen. Thank you also to Leisa and Forjars for sponsoring this collaboration.
I really appreciate that you incorporate honey in place of sugar in so many recipes! So much better for us!!
Thank you Rachel for such a great addition to Canuary! I’ve never canned ketchup before or used Mrs. Wages, so this was encouraging…love all the tips. This collaboration is so much fun. I appreciate Leisa at Suttonsdaze and For Jars for sponsoring this!

Thanks Rachel! And dont you just live the sound of those jars pinging as you're taking them out! I love it, and i really enjoy watching your videos!😀
I like Mrs. Wages, too!! A long plastic stemmed spoon, like used for wine making, will keep you from getting splattered.
Came for Canuary, staying for more gardening stuff too! Can't wait for my over-producing tomato plants this summer... I might actually USE them all! LOL
I love hearing the jars pop. I have seen Mrs Wages packets at Wally World but not the ketchup… now I want to try it. Thanks
I know that boiling water and steam are the same temperature, and yet, steam canning seems like a little bit of magic. Maybe it's something I need to learn for this year. Thank you.
I love how you share tips and tricks to deal with harvest overwhelm. And using already canned items to make other canned items. Thank you
This Canuary collaboration makes making ketchup with Mrs. Wages look easy. I like your use of the canned tomato sauce to make this recipe. The explanation and use of the steam canner is helpful because Leisa is giving one away as well as other prizes. Thank you!
I love the idea of using honey instead of sugar! Thank you for being a part of Canuary.. I learn a lot from your videos... Thanks to Leisa at Suttons daze and ForJars for sponsoring. This month has gone by really fast. Thanks again!
I've tried making ketchup for years and never have gotten quite right. I finally gave up. After watching your video you have inspired me to try again. Hope you keep making great videos. I learn so much!
I love the Canuary collaboration!!! Thanks Leisa Sutton and ForJars for doing this collaboration. Home made ketchup made with Mrs. wages Yum!
This past summer I had an abundance of Tomatoes even though I got them in the ground late and I never thought to make Ketchup. Ketchup will now be on this summer's list of things to can. Thanks for the great homesteading videos and for being a part of Canuary.
I've never made ketchup and all of your suggestions on how to adjust to make it thicker are really helpful. Mrs. Wages is new to me so thank you for the affiliate link. I'll have to go back to your video to see if you commented whether the honey substitution was 1:1 (1.5 cups of honey) or modified. Great, perfectly-timed, garden suggestion to plant at least 5 types of tomatoes to get fuller flavor. This is my first Canuary and I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Thanks for your relaxed, helpful contributions, Rachel! I loved the little POP's at the end. :) And thanks to @suttonsdaze and @forjars for sponsoring Canuary 2024..
Mrs. Rachel, I cannot THANK you enoufh for a different Ketchup! I hace made several and they're just "good"; but, none have been "GREAT"! I will be trying this one, today! THANK YOU for sharing
Love Mrs Wages and glad to see someone use there products...no shame in my game they are a great timesaver and there line makes a very consistant product. Thank you and the other collaborators for all you do for our canning community.
Rachel you are the go to for "let's put this up however we can because there is an abundance so we can figure out what to make/can in the winter slow season". I love these videos! Thank you!
I am new to canning, I am definitely going to be trying this one. For the past 8 month's my family and I have had bumps in the road with my health. I don't just want, I need to step it up for this year's ahead. I do lots in my gardening but this year didn't happen for me and I have missed it. This year my kiddos will be helping me to get it done, God willing. 🙏
I love watching you guys, and I am ready to go full steam ahead with my canning for health, "new healthy living."
From your playlist of TH-cam family, I watch a few but looking forward to watching the ones I haven't seen yet.
God bless and be safe 🙏 ❤️
Thank you for showing us how to use a steam canner! I'm glad to know you can basically "re-can" things, too! I appreciate you taking the time to share these things with us.
My son asked me last year to make him some ketchup and it was a nightmare. I followed the ketchup recipe for ball and it never really tasted or set the way it needed. I am feeling more courage to try again seeing that you also had issues. Thank you Rachel for the idea and yes I am going to go and make this right away so my son has his homemade Ketchup for his birthday.
I made ketchup one year and my family turned up their noses at it. Looking forward to trying Mrs Wages. Thank you for sharing! 😊
I've never canned Ketchup before. It looks so good, I love ketchup and it's so expensive at the store. I wish we had a better variety of Mrs Wages here. I had no idea they made Ketchup. Thanks for sharing!
I'm 54 and just now excited about learning the art of canning and baking bread. You all have been great to watch and learn from. Thanks for sharing with us ❤
Thank you for sharing the ketchup recipe. My husband and kids get excited when a new Todd and Rachel recipe shows up in our feed (We use Todd’s sausage Alfredo recipe ALL THE TIME). You both inspire us to be graceful with our aspirations while trying new things and pursuing our passions. It isn’t easy getting out of our comfort zones, but necessary for growth.
I don’t can just yet, but getting the motivation and encouragement from all the great Canuary videos. I specifically appreciate the multi-use reference for tomato sauce. I used your recipe for enchilada sauce (with store bought tomato sauce) on a burrito casserole and it was excellent. Can’t wait to try this one out and impress the fam.
My grandson that loves ketchup told me to start making this, lol now I need to buy a stream canner.
I love replacing store bought items with "homemade" removing chemicals and things we can't pronounce. I want to try ketchup with some spice in it. Think I can use this and just add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce. I had to giggle when you talked about the abundance of tomatoes. Had a neighbor last year that kept bringing me cucumbers about 30 lbs at a time - augghh I never thought I'd get thru them all (want to guess what neighbors got for Christmas?) Thankful and blessed and loving the retirement life that gives me the time to garden and can.
This recipe brings back childhood memories. Mom always waited till winter to make catsup with her can tomatoes. Thanks for participating in Canuary
I love to see folks using the steam canner. I purchased one not that long ago but never feel comfortable using anything new until I see lots of videos to build my confidence. Thanks!
Hello Rachel and thank you for your video today for ketchup! I made a sugar free ketchup several years ago, but for the life of me I cannot find it. I have been searching and searching, but no luck! I never thought about a seasoning package, but I appreciate you sharing this. Thank you also to Suttons Daze and ForJars for this CANUARY 2024 collaboration!
Rachel thank you so much for your contribution to Canuary! I’ve tried a lot of Mrs. Wages seasoning/Canning mixtures but I had no idea they made one for ketchup. I’ve been pleased with any of the other mixtures I’ve tried so far. I think my grand children would drink ketchup through a straw if I would let them.
I have been making ketchup for my kids and now grandkids for almost 40 years. I know what goes into the ketchup. And no red dyes which my son and 2 of grandsons are sensitive to. Never thought of using a drill!!! That will be a try next summer.
Ketchup with honey sounds delicious. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you, Rachel. ❤❤❤
Thank you for the inspiration! I really need to get my Mrs. Wages out of the cupboard and the last of my tomatoes out of the freezer.
Mrs Wages makes a great spice pack for ketsup. We all love it. Thanks for showing how easy it is.
I love how you show people anyone can can!!!
I made ketchup last year and swore that I would never do it again, but after tasting it enjoying its rich flavor, and knowing what is in it. I will be doing it again. Thanks for sharing.
I never canned ketchup simply because everyone says it's not as good as bought and it kills me to waste ingredients to try it out. BUT, maybe I will with Mrs. Wages. I like her salsa packet. Thank you for sharing!
Homemade ketchup a few years ago, and convince my son to taste it. He went home with the jar. And now I need more and I don't remember which recipe I used! LOL.
Never used Mrs Wages mixes yet and have A LOT of plain tomato sauce in quarts from last couple years. Would have never thought about making ketchup with my plain sauce already canned up along with Mrs Wages 🤦🏻♀️. My husband loves ketchup and ketchup is not inexpensive as it was 2-3 years ago ($5.98 for 3 bottles at Sam’s club to $10.98 for 3 bottles today, crazy)! Thank you so much for this video! For sure, I’m going to be canning up some Mrs Wages Ketchup! Love your channel!
I didn't know ketchup was so easy! We go through so much of it that this would be amazing.
Stumbled upon your channel and thankful that I did. Overwhelmed with tomato's last fall and needed ideas on how to process and not lose them. Thank you!
LOL! I loved the "Pop!" graphics! Thanks!
Glad to know that I'm not alone in that burned out feeling during the canning seasoning. I love homemade catsup. Glad to know about Mrs wages. Enjoy your meatloaf..one of my favorite meals too
For a long time I have wanted to can condiments, but have put off trying to do that. Now that I see how easy it is to do, I will make some this summer. The variety of recipes that all of you are sharing with us is awesome. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos. And thanks to Leisa for heading this project up each year.
I love your very practical approach to using canning as one tool in your arsenal to make the most of your food supply
Rachael, I am so glad you did this recipe as I have been searching for a Ketchup canning recipe also. I am also interested in the steam canner versatility and appreciate so many of the ladies doing these Canuary videos are showing us how to use them.
I love seeing you using Mrs. Wages. I’ve never used the ketchup. Will definitely do this. How much easier and quicker than using fresh tomatoes. Thank you for being part of Canuary. I love watching this every year. Blessings.
I love that i can use already existing tomato products I have! The amount of money this will save our family!
I wish I could afford to use honey for everything! You’re blessed to have your own hives!
My husband is a ketchup eating freak! We go through a lot, so I am excited to try this to make for the pantry and get his approval 😊 thanks so much for your video, and have a blessed day
Thank you for joining Canuary and to Leisa for always promoting Safe canning and teaming up with For Jars for this awesome colab.
Easy is the name of my game, especially at 70 with severe arthritis. Thanks for showing this recipe with honey.
I’ve not canned ketchup before, my brother did and said it was so much better than store bought.
I love hearing the ping. I'm new to Mrs. Wages and didn't realize she had a Ketchup recipe. I love the steam canner. 👍
I love homemade anything. I have developed several allergies to store bought foods. Watching you has given me hope I don’t have to give up things like ketchup. Thank you so much
Thanks for introducing Mrs. Wages to me. Now to find her products. I always learn a lot from all who are participating in Canuary, thank you.
