In an effort to reduce the refined sugars in our diet, I searched online and elsewhere for ketchup using natural sweeteners. The results were a disappointment. What good is a healthy recipe that your kids won't eat? I started with a Heinz clone recipe and adjusted it until I finally had something with a good balanced flavor that tasted like real ketchup. Ingredients:
6 ounces tomato paste |
1/4 cup mild honey (clover or alfalfa) |
6 tablespoons white vinegar |
6 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 pinch ground cloves, powder |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until smooth.
2. When mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often.
3. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool. Store in refrigerator. This has good keeping qualities.
4. ** The small addition of lemon juice helps to disguise any residual honey taste.
5. *** The clove powder adds a depth of flavor.
