Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground clove (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the tomato paste and water. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Add the apple cider vinegar, powdered erythritol, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground clove (if using). Whisk to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the ketchup simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes. Stir every few minutes to prevent sticking and ensure an even consistency.
Taste the ketchup and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more sweetener, salt, or vinegar to suit your preference.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the ketchup to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the ketchup to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
