Loading...Do your kids just LOVE ketchup? Too bad the commonly available, store-bought ketchups are often full of high fructose corn syrup and other undesirable ingredients, like preservatives and lots of salt. Tomatoes are very healthy, and making ketchup yourself is a quick and easy, child-friendly cooking activity. Helena ( five years) did it! No need to restrain ketchup usage anymore.
