Dana’s Low-Carb Gluten-Free No-Sugar Ketchup Redux

Dana's Low-Carb Ketchup

Dana’s Low-Carb Gluten-Free No-Sugar Ketchup Redux. My most-published recipe has been my ketchup, appearing in most of my cookbooks. But since the last time I published it, I discovered I like it better made with tomato sauce than with tomato paste – it’s less likely to separate. So here you go! Feel free to double this if you’re going to use it as an ingredient in a barbecue sauce or meatloaf or something.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 2/3 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup granulated Splenda
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Throw everything in the blender, but leave out the salt for now.
  2. Run till the onion and garlic disappear. Now pour into a non-reactive saucepan – stainless steel, glass, enamel lined, or something like that. (NOT aluminum or cast iron.)
  3. Put it over low heat and let it simmer till it’s thickened to the texture of commercial ketchup.
  4. Salt to taste when it’s thickened. (This is because cooking it down increases saltiness.)
  5. Store in a snap-top container in the fridge.

Eat It Again! How Repetition Rewires Your Taste – CarbSmart Podcast Episode 27

Every taste is an acquired taste. If you’ve just recently gone low-carb, say as a New Year’s resolution, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer difference from your old diet. I encourage you to do so rather than using low-carb breads and such to make your low-carb diet resemble your old diet. Those can be useful. Bridge foods helping you to find a new normal, but not only are they, yes, processed foods often overpriced and sometimes deceptively labeled.

One comment

  1. Can you replace the granulated Splenda with Erythritol? That’s all I have right now. Do you think it would taste the same?
    Thank you!
