For some reason I am craving ketchup. I found this recipe and am wondering about substituting stevia or whey-low since I do not use splenda. I could also use onion powder instead of onions. Any thoughts or other suggestions? Mary Anne Sugar Free Ketchup 10 min | 10 min prep Makes 1 1/2 cups Ingredients 6 ounces tomato paste 2/3 cup cider vinegar 1/3 cup water 1/3 cup Splenda sugar substitute 2 tablespoons minced onions 2 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1/8 teaspoon pepper Directions 1Put everything in your blender and run it until the onion disappears. 2Scrape into a container with a tight lid and store in the refrigerator.
Actually that sounds yummy. I wouldn't worry about using the powder because according to the directions your going to liquify them anyhow. Just make sure you get sugar free tomato paste.
Thanks for the recipe, i'm going to make this today!
Thank you for posting this recipe.....I made this tonight and I can tell you as an official ketchup junkie this stuff is a life saver.....even the wife loved it. We also added the horseradish to 1/3 of it for shrimp tomorrow...... Both are excellent...
An entire vegetable? How much ketchup do you eat in one sitting?....jk...;)
Seriously though in my research, since tomatoes are allowed, I considered this like using the juice from one lemon. I use probably a tablespoon of it and it came to about 16-18 calories of which I have more than enough room to spare
You need to make sure that your tomato paste has no added sugar in the ingredients line. There is some natural sugar in the tomato but that is allowable.
What did you use instead of Splenda and how much? I keep reading negative things about the white stevia and how ethanol is used in its production. Would xylitol be better?
They mentioned the Sweet Leaf also. Anything that turns a naturally plant-based (green) substance to white is bad (I guess). It was suggested to use the stevia that is still a plant. I am so confused by all of this since we are taught not to eat processed, especially chemically processed, substances to reset the hypothalamus properly.
