You probably already have most of the ingredients you need to make your own condiments. You'll save money and end up with more delicious meals. Here are a few recipes.
Ketchup 1 6-ounce can tomato paste 2 tablespoons white vinegar 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon molasses 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon allspice 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon corn syrup 1 1/4 cups water Mix together all ingredients in a saucepan over low heat; simmer gently until you get the consistency of ketchup, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Allow to cool. Pour into container with a lid. Store in refrigerator. Yield: 1 1/2 cups ketchup. Note: This recipe doubles well. Spicy Country-Style Barbecue Sauce 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 medium onion, diced 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup cider vinegar 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 4 teaspoons chili powder 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 2 teaspoons cornstarch Place onions and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until onions are tender. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until sauce reaches desired consistency. Yield: 1 2/3 cups. Fresh Mayonnaise 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon mustard 1/2 teaspoon paprika 3 tablespoons vinegar (or lemon juice) 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil (or less, if mixture thickens quickly) Put egg, salt, sugar, mustard, paprika and vinegar in blender. Cover and blend for a few seconds. With blender still running, add the oil very slowly. Blend until thick and smooth. Yield: about 2 cups. Note: Substitute pasteurized egg substitute for raw egg for pregnant women or elderly persons. Steak Sauce 1 1/4 cups ketchup 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 4 drops hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco™) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate until needed. Yield: 3 cups. Worcestershire Sauce You can make your own Worcestershire sauce. This recipe contains a number of ingredients, but once you have these items you'll be able to make a ton of sauce. 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 large sweet onions, roughly chopped 1/2 cup tamarind paste 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons minced ginger 2 jalapenos, seeds removed and minced 1/4 cup chopped canned anchovies 1/4 cup tomato paste 2 whole cloves 2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper 1/2 cup dark corn syrup 1 cup molasses 3 cups white vinegar 1 cup dark beer 1/2 cup orange juice 2 cups water 1 lemon, thinly sliced 1 lime, thinly sliced Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onion until soft, about 7 minutes. Add the tamarind paste, garlic, ginger and jalapenos. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add anchovies, tomato paste, cloves, pepper, corn syrup, molasses, white vinegar, beer, orange juice, water, lemon and lime. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 3 hours until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Strain sauce into a glass bottle and refrigerate. Yield: about 6 cups.

I like make things like these, so thank you Kitty. I'm going to try your ketchup first.
Over the summer we had lots of tomatoes in our garden, so I made several bottles of chutney, both red and green tomato relish/chutney. Mmmm. I gave some away and kept some for myself, and I must admit they've been very popular.
