Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Tomato paste (unsweetened)
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol or stevia (sugar-free sweetener)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Mustard powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add the granulated erythritol (or your choice of sugar-free sweetener), garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, mustard powder, cinnamon (if using), salt, and black pepper to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture cook for approximately 8–10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. If you'd like the ketchup sweeter, add a touch more sweetener. For more tanginess, add a splash of apple cider vinegar.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the ketchup to cool to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled ketchup to a clean, airtight container or jar. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 weeks.
Use your diabetic-friendly ketchup as a healthier alternative anywhere you'd normally use traditional ketchup!
