How to Make Yummy Homemade Ketchup recipe - make it in minutes from only 5 ingredients!

(Or it would be, if our barbecue worked. Lots of hot-dogs-roasted-on-the-fire nights around here lately. Current temperature in my house? The thermostat's topped out at 30 degrees C.)
One of the easy switches I made in our eating many years ago was to begin making my own ketchup. And every time we have people over for a wiener roast, someone asks for the recipe.

These ingredients plus 5 minutes is all you need to make your own delicious, healthy ketchup.
Yummy Homemade Ketchup
Makes approximately 2 cups
1 480 ml/15 oz can tomato paste
1/3 c maple syrup
2 garlic cloves, pressed or mashed
2 tsp. sea salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
Mix all ingredients together well. Can be used right away, but it's best made several hours in advance to let the flavours mingle. Keeps in the refrigerator for several weeks.
Throw it in a bowl, mix it up, and voila! The ketchup recipe your guests will be asking you for. :-)
