Honey-Sweetened Ketchup image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until smooth.
  • When mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often.
  • Remove pan from heat and allow to cool. Store in refrigerator. This has good keeping qualities.
  • ** The small addition of lemon juice helps to disguise any residual honey taste.
  • *** The clove powder adds a depth of flavor.
