In the 1690s the Chinese mixed together a concoction of pickled fish and spices and called it ke-tsiap.
By the early 18th century, the table sauce had made it to the Malay states (present day Malaysia), where it was discovered by British explorers, and by 1740, it had become an English staple.
Although today's ketchup is tomato based, it did not appear until about a century after other types. By 1801, a recipe for tomato ketchup was created by Sandy Addison and was later printed in an American cookbook, the Sugar House Book. James Mease published another recipe in 1812. In 1824, a ketchup recipe using tomatoes appeared in The Virginia Housewife (an influential 19th-century cookbook written by Mary Randolph, Thomas Jefferson's cousin).
As the century progressed, tomato ketchup began its ascent in popularity in the United States, influenced by the American enthusiasm for tomatoes. Tomato ketchup was sold locally by farmers. A man named Jonas Yerks (or Yerkes) is believed to have been the first man to make tomato ketchup a national phenomenon. By 1837, he had produced and distributed the condiment nationally. Shortly thereafter, other companies followed suit. F. & J. Heinz launched their tomato ketchup in 1876.
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.
