I'd be interested as well. The internet yields several useful results, although they're all for dealing with massive amounts of tomatoes, a problem I won't be having till harvest time and have never had before.. I make ketchups in batches of like 3 tomatoes and that leaves a lot of stuff open to variation.
I think you'll find 2 different major types.
The vinegar ketchups and the fermented ketchups. Maybe there's also Salty ketchup? IDK.
I prefer to blend my tomatoes, seeds and skins intact and then boil it off till it's thickened while adding sugar and spices. If I'm doing a vinegar ketchup, I cook the vinegar in with the tomatoes.. if I'm not, I add a probiotic capsule when it's cool. I am winging it more often than not.
What varieties of Tomatoes are you using?

Here is a link to a dipping sauce I make using tomato paste. ....I refer it it as a dipping sauce, but others have called it a spicy ketchup.
