We’ve Got a National Ketchup Shortage!
We’re going through a national ketchup shortage thanks to the pandemic. Because so many restaurants are now doing more to-go orders, they’re going through boatloads of ketchup. You know how supply and demand works, prices are up 13% in 14 months.
We’re also buying more bottles of ketchup since the pandemic started. In 2020, there were more than $1 billion in ketchup sales in the U.S. , that’s 15% higher than 2019.
Instead of paying more for such a common condiment, make it at home! It’s easier than you think. Follow the recipe below and see how much better homemade ketchup is.
Ingredients:
1-6 oz can tomato paste.
1/4 c. raw honey
1/2 c white vinegar
1/4 c water
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. onion powder
Directions:
Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl except for the water and mix until you get a smooth consistency. Add the water a little at a time and stir until you get your desired consistency.
I also have a recipe for stovetop homemade ketchup, but it’s a lot more work.
