Ingredients

• 6 ounces Tomato paste
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground clove (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the tomato paste and water. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Add the apple cider vinegar, powdered erythritol, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground clove (if using). Whisk to incorporate all ingredients evenly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the ketchup simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes. Stir every few minutes to prevent sticking and ensure an even consistency.

Step 5

Taste the ketchup and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more sweetener, salt, or vinegar to suit your preference.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the ketchup to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
