Some years are good &#8211; others not so good. A few years ago we had a &#8216;Good Tomato Year&#8217;. That year we had loads of tomatoes for eating, but also for chili, pizza and spaghetti sauce, as well as several jars of tomato sauce for future recipes. I thought about making ketchup as well, but after looking at a number of recipes, both in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nourishing-Traditions-Challenges-Politically-Dictocrats\/dp\/0967089735\">Nourishing Traditions<\/a> and in various places online, it seemed using a quality brand of tomato paste was a good option. In the end, I went with \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/gnowfglins.com\/2010\/06\/16\/lacto-fermented-homemade-ketchup\/\">this recipe<\/a>. (Edited: I copied the ingredients here because so many of the websites I used to link to are no more, and I really didn&#8217;t want to lose this recipe. For the original, and credit, follow the link)<\/p>\n<p>I used the recipe as is, other than leaving out the mustard, since I didn&#8217;t have any on hand.
