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

- Category: Low-Carb, Gluten-Free
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
- Throw everything in the blender, but leave out the salt for now.
- 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.)
- Put it over low heat and let it simmer till it’s thickened to the texture of commercial ketchup.
- Salt to taste when it’s thickened. (This is because cooking it down increases saltiness.)
- Store in a snap-top container in the fridge.
