Easy Homemade Ketchup - sugar free and low-carb options

This Easy Homemade Ketchup blends tomato paste with apple cider vinegar, seasonings like garlic and onion powder, and a choice of sweeteners for a low-carb, sugar-free condiment alternative. Optional ingredients like molasses and cayenne add depth and subtle heat. The mixture is stirred together and refrigerated, resulting in a tangy, slightly sweet sauce suitable for those monitoring sugar intake or seeking a homemade sauce with controlled ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces tomato paste (approximately 3/4 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon low-carb sweetener or to taste - use 1/2 tablespoon honey for paleo
  • 1 drop stevia (1/64 teaspoon - 1/2 scoop; or to taste; see stevia usage info here)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon granulated garlic (if using powder, use 3/8 teaspoon)
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion powder if using powder, use 3/8 teaspoon
  • 3/16 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 tablespoon molasses (optional. I typically use blackstrap)
  • 1/16 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2/3 cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Stir to blend completely.
  3. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Keep ketchup refrigerated and consume within two weeks for best quality; freezing extends storage up to six months.
  • Sweetener type can be substituted to suit dietary needs, including honey, yacon syrup, or monk fruit extract.
  • Use exact measuring tools when adding small amounts of stevia to avoid bitterness or over-sweetening.
  • Blend thoroughly to ensure spices and sweeteners mix evenly for consistent flavor.
