Healthy AND delicious homemade ketchup recipe
Healthy Ketchup Recipe:
Ingredients:
3 fresh (ripe) toms, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 stick celery, 1/4 red onion, glugs of apple cidre vinegar, 6 sun dried tomatoes (soaked), 3 dates, salt, pepper, 1/4 slice red jalapino.
Blend till smooth.
Taste……hmmmmmm, almost, not quite
…added sprinkle chipotle pepper (kinda smoky), the other half of celery, 1 tsp agave, yet another half stick of celery, some sun dried tomatoe soak water, a glug balsamic a tsp lecithin (optional, good fat emulsifier with benefits).
OK, we are there, I think – not where we set out to be, its not bright red, its orange. Its not as tomatoey as it was at one point, and its creamier (due to the cashews) than ketchup, but……………..mmmmmmmmmmmm it is SO good!!!
Creamy, sharp, sweet, salty, delicious with the olive and veggie bites I dehydrated yesterday – a side order I made by adjusting the burger recipe. And every mouthfuls a good’un!
A k‘chup worth making I’d say, it will save many a craving obsessed day.

Thing is condiments can be jam packed full of salt and sugar as well as chemical nasties so to make one that is good enough to eat by the spoonful is so satisfying!
Just remembered I also put a small chunk of fresh ginger in it;
If you have kiddies it’s best to leave out the chilli and use a little smoked paprika, again thats optional. You could also omit the agave or substitute a tiny bit of stevia if needed ( test first!).
