Thats my first thought too....aside from that I highly doubt that the ketchup folks will purchase a product that will cut down on the amount of ketchup they sell.

The video was removed, but you can read a news report about it here - and there's a video report at the bottom, if you prefer.

No wonder there are so many sick and overweight americans. Read www.Rodale.com and get your eyes opened. This is just one good site. Many others. Ole granny, how do you make your homemade ketchup? Would love to know how. Thanks

I basically use the recipe in the BBB - I do use less cloves & instead of cayenne I use chipotle powder. I don't really measure the spices too closely. My son in law likes a hot ketchup made with jalapenos but when I add them, I pressure can instead of bwb. You just have to make it to your taste, I guess - I know mine never comes out the same twice, but we like it.

Agreed and the same goes for peanut butter! When you reach the lower part of the jar you get a very messy knife handle consequently you get very messy hands.
