Homemade Catsup (ketchup)

This is a great little recipe if you like avoiding sugar. I keep agave syrup or stevia powder on hand so this goes together quickly and it's versatile and delicious. Adjust spices to suit your taste.

What you need

  1. 1 six oz. can sugar free tomato paste such as Muir Glen
  2. 1/4 cup white or cider vinegar
  3. 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  4. 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  5. 1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder or more to taste (optional)
  6. Large pinch to 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  7. Large pinch garlic powder
  8. Large pinch onion powder
  9. Pinch ground cinnamon
  10. 2/3 cup water
  11. 1-2 tbl agave syrup or other sweetener to taste

How to make it

  1. In a saucepan, combine tomato paste with half the vinegar - whisk until smooth
  2. Add remaining vinegar and again whisk until smooth
  3. Add salt and spices and whisk to combine
  4. Place over medium-low heat and whisk in water
  5. Bring just to the simmer allowing flavors to blend
  6. Turn off heat and stir in agave sweetener
  7. Taste to adjust seasonings
  8. Cover and let stand until ready to serve
