Ingredients

• 1000 grams fresh ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium-sized white onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 60 milliliters apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 60 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and cut them into quarters. Dice the white onion and peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the chopped garlic to the saucepan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and paprika, cooking for 1 minute to toast the spices and release their aroma.

Step 6

Add the quartered tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and water to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let it cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are completely softened and the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 9

Blend the mixture using an immersion blender or in a standing blender until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

Step 10

Strain the blended ketchup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any remaining tomato skins or seeds, resulting in a silky, smooth texture.

Step 11

Taste the ketchup and adjust seasoning if necessary (add more sugar, salt, or spices to your preference).

Step 12

Transfer the ketchup to a sterilized jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.

Step 13

Enjoy your homemade cumin tomato ketchup with fries, burgers, or as a flavorful condiment for any dish!
