Then I think you should post it for those that need to know. The recipes I posted would not work by substituting fresh tomatoes.

Thanks, PrincessFiona! There's a reason I wanted to see a recipe from scratch. For health reasons I need to start using less storebought canned goods, and I would like to try making some of my own condiments so I can get off of the mass produced brands and know every ingredient that goes into it.
You are Welcome. The only thing boxed I still buy is cereal.
All this ketchup talk has got me jonesin for fresh cooked french fries/chips!
