Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil Avocado Oil is a good substitute
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 yellow onion about 1/2 cup
- 1 teaspoon ginger chopped, fresh
- 4 banana very ripe, about 2 cups
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon molasses Blackstrap molasses is AIP friendly
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric ground
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves ground
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and ginger. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
- Add the mashed bananas to the pan and stir to combine.
- Next add the vinegar, molasses, turmeric, cloves, coconut aminos, salt and water to the pan. Again, stir to combine. Let cook for about 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a bowl (appropriate for an immersion blender) or food processor. Blend until smooth using food processor or immersion blender.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas to enhance natural sweetness in the ketchup.
- Consume the banana ketchup within 3 to 5 days for best quality.
- The ketchup can be frozen in small containers and thawed when needed.
- Adding honey or maple syrup is optional; the bananas provide ample sweetness.
