Ingredients

• 6 ounces Tomato paste (unsweetened)
• 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol or stevia (sugar-free sweetener)
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Mustard powder
• 0.125 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 2

Add the granulated erythritol (or your choice of sugar-free sweetener), garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, mustard powder, cinnamon (if using), salt, and black pepper to the saucepan.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Once simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture cook for approximately 8–10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. If you'd like the ketchup sweeter, add a touch more sweetener. For more tanginess, add a splash of apple cider vinegar.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the ketchup to cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Transfer the cooled ketchup to a clean, airtight container or jar. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 weeks.

Step 8

Use your diabetic-friendly ketchup as a healthier alternative anywhere you'd normally use traditional ketchup!
