Ketchup – Low Carb

A guilt free, low carb, better than store-bought ketchup.

We have discovered that making a double batch is best, so if you want a smaller, just cut the recipe in half. Additionally, the only sweetener we use (and will ever use except for the hummingbirds) is BochaSweet.

Ingredients (as always, as organic as possible)

  • 4 6oz Cans Tomato Paste
  • 2 Cups BochaSweet (we actually prefer it less sweet, so cut this in half)
  • 2 Cups Unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar (or Coconut Vinegar)
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 4 tsp Celtic Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Onion (press in a garlic press)
  • ¼ tsp Crushed Garlic
  • Optional (for those of you who like hot): add some really hot cayenne pepper.

Directions

Combine all the ingredients (careful with the garlic, just a little) into in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the tomato paste, and whisk until smooth. We recommend using a submersion blender. See below for our recommendation on those.

When mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 (longer if you like it thicker) minutes, stirring often. Remove, cover, and cool. Chill and store in a covered container.

  1. I’ve had this Ketchup and many of the other food creations at this site. Not only are they delicious, but (being an insulin-dependent diabetic), I use much less insulin when eating these recipes. Most all the recipes created for this website aim to keep carb load at a minimum and keep blood sugar from spiking, while using the freshest organic and non-GMO ingredients available. The result is outstanding flavors that do not significantly raise my blood glucose. These people are amazing cooks! Try this recipe, try all their recipes! They will not disappoint you!
