My thrift friend and Baby T's well-traveled godmother, Faith, sent me these recipes that were too good not to be shared with the entire blogsphere...They are from Everyday Cheapskate's newsletter. Read on for the "how" in how to make your own ketchup and raspberry vinaigrette dressing!
Ketchup
2 (6-ounce) cans tomato paste
4 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 teaspoons molasses
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons corn syrup (like Karo light)
2 1/2 cups water
Mix all ingredients and place in a saucepan over low heat; simmer gently until you get the consistency of ketchup, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Taste and adjust salt if necessary before serving.
Clean your empty ketchup bottle, then pour this mixture in for a cheap and much tastier alternative to store-bought ketchup. Yield: About 3 cups; 24 ounces.
You should be able to make this ketchup for about half the price of the commercial variety. And once you taste homemade, chances are you won’t go back to any brand—it’s that good. Note: Heinz Ketchup at this writing: $3.56 for 32 ounces.

I think we'll just have to have salad with dinner (again!) tonight, and perhaps french fries. Works for me!

Thanks. We'll definitely try them.
I cannot tell you how much money I spend on Paul Newman's rasberry viniagrette so I REALLY appreciate this recipe.
Goodness, Jane! I don't know where you find the time to make your own ketchup. You must be super-human and not sleep!!! :)
