How to Make Sugar Free Ketchup
Make your own ketchup without having to add a lot of sugar to it.
Ingredients
- Whole Tomatoes canned in juice- 1 can (28-32 ounce).
- Tomato Paste- 1 tablespoon.
- Oil- 1 tablespoon. Vegetable or olive.
- Onion- 1 chopped.
- Garlic- 3 cloves minced.
- Cider Vinegar- ¼ cup.
- Sugar Alternative-¼ cup equivalent to sugar.
- Celery Salt-½ teaspoon.
- Paprika- 1 teaspoon.
Instructions
- Start by blending your canned tomatoes with the tomato paste in a blender or processor. Optionally, you can skip this step by using canned chopped or ground tomatoes (28-32 ounce can) .In a saucepan on medium heat, start by sauteing your onion. After about two minutes add your garlic to the sauce pan and continue to saute until they begin to brown- about 5-6 more minutes.
- Stir in the vinegar and blended tomatoes from the first step.
- Finally add your remaining ingredients and allow the contents of the saucepan to just about boil. Then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for an hour, stirring occasionally. We want the ketchup to thicken.
- Remove the ketchup from the stove and allow to cool down for at least 10 minutes. Then pour it into a blender until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Refrigerate for at least three hours. This will keep for about four weeks in the refrigerator or you can freeze it.
- Make this in a slow cooker by adding your ingredients and cooking uncovered for 10 hours and stirring occasionally. Blend if needed for consistency.
