Sugarless Classic Ketchup Makes 2¼ cups Ketchup is a staple in most refrigerators, but store-bought varieties can have a ton of added sugar. But not to worry—you can make this simple version at home. The blend of spices complements the tomato—your burgers and fries will thank you! INGREDIENTS 1 (12-ounce) can tomato paste ½ cup white vinegar 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt ½ teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves ⅛ teaspoon ground mustard In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, the tomato paste, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, paprika, Worcestershire, pepper, cloves, and mustard. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally, about 2 minutes. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, until thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool before serving or storing. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
