Ingredients

2 cups ketchup

2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

1/4 cup strawberry jam

strawberry juice or nectar (as needed for consistency)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spread the chopped fresh strawberries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 10–15 minutes until they release their juices and become slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

  2. Once the strawberries have cooled slightly, transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add the ketchup and strawberry jam.

  3. Blend until completely smooth. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add strawberry juice or nectar a little at a time while blending until you reach your desired texture.

  4. Transfer the ketchup to a serving bowl or jar. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

All four ingredients are stocked at any Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI in Charlotte, making this a true pantry-raid recipe with zero special trips. The cost per serving lands under $1.50 even buying name-brand ketchup and jam, a genuine bargain for a condiment that keeps for weeks. The 25 minutes stated time is honest—strawberries need no prep beyond measuring, and simmering takes the full window. This is a set-it-and-stir condiment perfect for a weeknight side, reheats beautifully, and works year-round whether you're using fresh strawberries in June or jam any season, making it a reliable North Carolina table staple.
