How do tomatoes make ketchup?

first step

Prepare containers for ketchup, wide-mouth bottles (all kinds of big-mouthed wine bottles and beverage bottles can be used), and be equipped with bottle stoppers. Wash the bottle inside and out (you can also put fine sand in the bottle with water and stir it back and forth), and then put it in the pot with water. When you put it in the bottle, boil it in water for 10 minutes, then take it out with water and put it on the pot table for later use.

Second step

Make pure tomato sauce. Wash tomatoes (proper amount), steam them in a cage for a few minutes, then take them out, remove rough skins, stems and rotten parts, crush them by hand and cook them in a pot. After a few minutes, when the tomatoes are cooled, stir them with a spoon and bottle them.
