You do realize that you'll pay more for less when you buy lower-sodium and lower-sugar ketchup, right? It seems silly, but it makes sense: commercial outfits are geared to make most of their product one way, and every change costs them, too.
But YOU can do it cheaper!
- 1 cup (no salt added) tomato paste
- 1 tsp each of garlic powder and onion powder
- 1 tsp salt, IF you can have it- if not, leave it out
- 3 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (you can find sugar-free maple syrups online, but they're not cheap; however, if you don't mind a little bacon flavor in your ketchup, try Walden Farms' sugar-free bacon-maple syrup!)
- 3/4 cup water
Mix together, then simmer for about 5 minutes.
Keep refrigerated.
