Homemade ketchup is an easy example. You might even have everything you need in the cupboard or pantry already. It generally starts with kosher salt, olive oil, cracked pepper, tomato paste, brown sugar, an onion, and cider vinegar, and pureed tomatoes. From there you can add things like chili peppers or a strong herb to take it whatever direction fits the rest of the meal. There are a ton of variations on this, so find the one that suits you best and try it this weekend.

Let me know what you find and how it goes. I just want to plant the seed…
