Adding spices directly to ketchup can alter its flavor profile unpredictably, making it difficult to achieve the desired taste balance. Additionally, spices may not fully integrate, leading to an uneven distribution and inconsistent flavor throughout the condiment. Instead, it's often better to create a spice blend or infusion that can complement the ketchup, allowing for a more harmonious and controlled flavor development. This approach also enhances the overall culinary experience.

How is ketchup fermented?
Ketchup available for purchase in the United States is not a fermented product, and none of my 19th century cookbooks provide a recipe. Ketchup is made by cooking fruits and/or vegetables with vinegar and spices. The resulting sauce is then puréed to be smooth rather than chunky. I have seen recipes for peach, banana, beet, tomatillo, and blueberry-chipotle ketchups as well as the American standard tomato. However, history suggests that even our poor excuse for a sauce is the descendant of other fermented products, such as soy sauce. The most prominent process to make fermented ketchup that I have found is to use a starter culture, either milk based (yogurt whey, water kefir) or vegetable based (sauerkraut brine). This is added to the already cooked and puréed vegetation, so basically, fermented ketchup is regular ketchup with a starter culture added. The cultured product is allowed to sit anywhere from 8 hours to 5 days before refrigerating. You can search "fermented ketchup" on Google to find recipes.
