Ketchup - No Salt - No Sugar - No - Oil

A delicious healthy ketchup recipe that is salt, oil and sugar free. Variations including a BBQ sauce.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz can salt free tomato paste
  • 6 tablespoons reduced balsamic vinegar * like Napa Valley Naturals Grand Reserve only 4% acidity and it's sweet
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon onion granules
  • 1/4 teaspoon Allspice

Method
 

  1. Put all ingredients in a small blender container or a small food processor and process until smooth. If you don't have a small container you might need to double the recipe in order to process it properly. If it's too thick for you - thin it with a little water. Scrape it into clean glass jars with lids. Store in the fridge.

Notes

*If you don't have access to a sweet low acidity vinegar you might need to add a date or some date paste or date syrup to cut the acidity.

For Jalapeno add a little fresh jalapeno or 1/8 - 1/4 Jalapeno powder
ForĀ  BBQ Sauce add 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
ForĀ  smoky flavor add 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
