Roasted Tomato Ketchup from First Field brings a new depth of flavor to the classic ketchup, combining subtle smokiness with warm notes of roasted red pepper and garlic. It is made from hand-picked, vine-ripened New Jersey tomatoes, slow-cooked in kettle batches along with roasted red peppers and garlic.
A small amount of molasses is added to enhance the caramelized notes and balance the natural acidity of the tomatoes. Like the original version, it contains significantly less sugar and salt - about half the amount found in most commercial ketchups.
The recipe is completely free from corn syrup, concentrates, pastes, artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives - only the best of nature is used. Its texture is thick and creamy, with a pronounced yet well-balanced smoky aroma and a gentle sweetness.
Producer
First Field is a small, family-owned company from New Jersey dedicated to producing ketchup, sauces, and jams made from fresh, locally sourced, and carefully selected ingredients. Their story begins on the farm: tomatoes are grown by trusted local farmers who practice sustainable agriculture and care deeply about soil health and environmental stewardship. The founders started in 2012 with a simple idea - crafting ketchup that truly reflects the taste of fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes, straight from their family garden.
Today, First Field offers a wide range of products, including strained and crushed tomatoes, various sauces, and fruit preserves, all made with the same commitment to quality and ingredient transparency. Their ketchup is made exclusively from hand-picked, vine-ripened tomatoes - without concentrates, pastes, syrups, artificial flavors, or additives. It is kettle-cooked in small batches to preserve the natural sweetness and full-bodied flavor of the tomatoes.
With only a minimal amount of sugar and salt, this ketchup relies on the clean, authentic taste of the fruit itself - making it not only delicious but also a healthier choice for the kitchen.
