All Natural, Easy Homemade Ketchup
From: Jen @ beautyandbedlam.com/
I’ve never had a complex palette. It’s embarrassing to admit, but if you gave me the choice today, I might lean towards a burger and fries again, but ONLY if you top them with a great ketchup.
So when we were at my sweet friend Patty’s for a cook-out and she shared her All Natural and so very Easy Homemade Ketchup recipe, I knew I must pass this on. As much ketchup as our family goes through, I’ve wanted a great recipe without all the junk, but that ends up being quite expensive.
I also wanted an easy Homemade Ketchup recipe that I could whip up and make in large quantities and this is it. I love that this recipe works perfectly with the 17 day diet too, since it eliminates processed corn syrup and carbs.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients
Two 6 oz. cans of organic or regular tomato paste
1 1/3 cup cider vinegar
2/3 cup water
3 tablespoons stevia extract (the finely-powdered kind you get at Trader Joes)* see notes
4 tablespoons minced white onions
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Blend together in food processor until smooth.
Put in small saucepan and heat on medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
Let cool, then keep refrigerated.
Notes:
This is a sweet ketchup. For a typical ketchup recipe of this size, it’s normally about 1/2 cup of sugar/brown sugar. If you are worried that it’s too sweet, I recommend starting with less, maybe 2 tablespoons and tasting it. You can always add in the extra tablespoon later if needed.
