How To Make Fermented Ketchup
Are you ready to make your own homemade flavourful fermented ketchup recipe?! This ketchup is actually healthy and taste great too.
While I buy the store-bought ketchup, I feel guilty every time as I know it’s loaded with sugars and other ingredients that aren’t ideal. Making your own is really very cheap, simple and so much healthier for you.
Here are a few reasons why you should consider making your own too!
Why Make Fermented Ketchup
- Fermented ketchup is filled with gut healthy probiotics. Store bought ketchups are filled with nasties that are best avoided.
- It’s really flavourful!
- Simple and cheap to make: The base is tomato paste; you add some spices and whey. Literally just mix all the ingredients together and let it sit for a few days. That’s it so simple right?!
What You Need
1 1/2 cups tomato paste
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water: I use filtered water, I would not use tap water.
2 tbsp whey: Sometimes I use milk kefir as well if that’s all I have and it works as well.
1/3 cup sugar: I’d use a brown sugar over white sugar adds a better flavour. The sugar I use is rapadura sugar which is healthier but taste similar to brown sugar.
Spices 1/2 tsp of all spice, sea salt, garlic powder and onion powder
pinch of black pepper

How To Store Fermented Ketchup
Once your ketchup has fermented and is the flavour you like store it in the fridge. I have found my ketchup to last about a solid month in the fridge no issues. Make sure you have it stored in a clean glass jar with the lid tightly on.
