I would never make my own ketchup. But I love people who have the time and interest to do so.

There are so many things that most of us consider too much trouble to make ourselves.

A friend and Tulsa World reader named Brenda recently e-mailed me about fried catfish and homemade tartar sauce.

I understand that once you've made homemade tartar sauce it's hard to go back to the canned stuff.

Brenda's recipe is simple: Mix mayonnaise and mustard in about a three-to-one ratio. Add finely chopped dill pickles, a little dill pickle juice and Louisiana hot sauce.

Here's another homemade version from Food Network star Tyler Florence.

TARTAR SAUCE

1 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons chopped capers

10 tablespoons chopped cornichons

2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

1/2 lemon, juiced

Dash hot sauce

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Chill before serving to let the flavors marry.
