When I was little I was obsessed with ketchup. Eventually, I grew out if, only adding it to socially accepted ketchup-worthy foods. Later in life when I started learning about ingredients, I swore it off…until I discovered homemade ketchup! I mean, have you seen the ingredient list on some of those commercial ketchup bottles? High fructose corn syrup, no thanks. Natural flavouring sounds good enough, but it could mean it contains beef byproducts Ketchup and I have rekindled our love!

Fermented Ketchup Notes
homemade ketchup recipe
Fermentation is optional.
You can skip the whey if you want and serve immediately, but why would you want that when whey is so beneficial? Whey inoculates food against bad bacteria that may grow, it can be kept in the fridge for up to 6 months. Plus, fermented foods are rich in enzymes, probiotics, and help our bodies absorb important nutrients.
