Measuring cups and spoons
Stove
Jar or Bottle for Storage

Ingredients

1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes 794g
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 30ml
2 tbsp white vinegar 30ml
¼ cup water 60ml
2 tbsp Erythritol or preferred sugar substitute, 30g
1 tsp garlic powder 3.1g
1 tsp onion powder 2.1g
½ tsp ground allspice 1.1g
¼ tsp ground cloves 0.5g
1 tsp sea salt 5g
⅛ tsp cayenne pepper optional for a bit of heat, 0.6g

Instructions

Add the whole peeled tomatoes to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Pour the blended tomatoes into a medium saucepan and add the apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, and water.
Stir in the Erythritol, garlic powder, onion powder, ground allspice, ground cloves, sea salt, and cayenne pepper if using.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low.
Allow the ketchup to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure even reduction.
Once the ketchup has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool.
If you prefer a smoother ketchup, blend the mixture again until it reaches your desired texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the ketchup to a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate. The flavor will continue to develop as it cools.

Notes

The ketchup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Ensure the ketchup is completely cool before transferring it to the jar or bottle to prevent bacterial growth.

The Erythritol can be substituted with another keto-friendly sweetener, but this may alter the nutritional content.

For a smoother texture, you can strain the ketchup through a fine-mesh sieve before bottling.
