Ketchup

Ketchup has made lots of things taste yummier!  It is good for 1 week in the fridge, so make a lot and freeze in small batches to save for later!  Thankfully my mom as designated herself as the ketchup maker so we always have some available to us!

2 cups tomato juice or whole canned tomatoes (puree yourself)

1 tbsp white vinegar

2 tbsp honey

bay leaf (optional)

1/2 tsp salt

pinch of pepper

Mix all ingredients except honey and simmer on stove until think, stirring often to prevent sticking.

When almost to desired thickness, add honey and complete cooking.

Ladle into ketchup bottle and seal immediately, or place in small containers and freeze.
