When you are on the specific carbohydrate diet, there is one thing for sure. You eat a LOT of meat! So you can't be on the diet long before you figure out your favorite ketchup recipe. We have tried several recipes, found our favorite, and modified it until we were happy! I call this "Joshua's Ketchup" because he modified this to perfection and he makes it more often than I do, actually! It has the consistency of "real ketchup" and tastes great too! Also, it's quite easy. It doesn't require constant stirring for an hour and a half like one recipe that I tried(and made for several months!). We bought a plastic squeeze bottle from Sam's to store it in. It's very, very, very important to find the right tomato paste for this ketchup. I can't stress enough how important it is to read the labels! Reading labels always makes my trips to the grocery store a little bit longer, but I promise, it's worth it! I hope you'll enjoy this recipe as much as we have!
Ingredients:
12 oz. can of tomato paste
1 tsp honey
3/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Stir all ingredients on medium heat for approximately 15-20 minutes. Refrigerate.
Enjoy!
Easy enough, right? :)
