  1. I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out, but tried it anyway. It was easy to make and turned out my first try. I put it on my meatloaf and it was the best I ever made! It would take some getting used plain on french fries and such, but I use it in any recipe that calls for ketsup. Even my homemade BBQ sauce! I did seal it in canning jars and it held up nicely. I can't say how long the shelf-life is because I used it up quickly. Hint: Place a couple strips of bacon on top of the sauce when making your meatloaf for something extra special.
