ketchup

[Anonymous]

Looking for a good, home made ketchup (catsup?) recipe.
Checked two other low carb bulletin boards with no success.

Ketchup from Ian Loveless

1 can tomato paste

Put the tomato paste in a small bowl and then fill the empty can with white vinegar and add to the tomato paste. Add salt and pepper, paprika, oregano, thyme, and whatever other spices you might feel like that day. It actually tastes better than Heintz. Store in the fridge.

(Thought from Tina – if you are used to a sweeter ketchup, add artificial sweetener to taste)


Hope this helps!

Hi there!

Tom invited me to check out his site, and while I was here, I saw this request.

I've just finished writing my second low carb cookbook. In fact, I just submitted it to the publisher yesterday! One of the new recipes for the new book is a ketchup. We really enjoy it here at my house, and I would be happy for you to have it. I would have emailed it to you directly, Grama, but you don't have email enabled.

So, if you would like my recipe, please email me at Sharron@TheLowCarbCook.com and I will happily send it to you!

Blessings,

I've seen several recipes but they are only 2 carbs compared to the 4 carbs for regular ketchup. Not really worth the time and effort (self life is much shorter also) since I don't use that much.

there is a ketchup recipe on the board with .89 carbs if you want to look for it.

so many requests...

I've received so many requests for my recipe that I have decided to post it here. This recipe is from my soon-to-be-released book, "Extreme Lo-Carb Cuisine" published by Adams Media. It is available for pre-order at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...558591-3686502

This ketchup is made with pumpkin since so many of us are allergic to nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, etc.), but it tastes like normal to me!

Pumpkin Ketchup
Makes about 32 servings.
This is for the many of us who are allergic to the nightshade family of plants – including tomatoes! You don’t have to be allergic to tomatoes to enjoy this yummy ketchup though!

1 onion, medium-sized, finely chopped
1/4 cup water
1 - 29 ounce can pumpkin puree
3/4 teaspoon SteviaPlus®
10 packets sucralose
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup lemon juice, bottled
3/4 cup water

1. Place the onions and water into a medium sized pot with a lid. Cover the pot and
cook the onions over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients in the pot and slowly bring the mixture to a
simmer. Cook it for about 1 1/2 hours, or until it is very thick. Pour the ketchup into a container with a lid and store it covered in the refrigerator up to one month, or part of it may be frozen.

The quick and dirty way to make a strongly flavored tomato concentrate goes like this.

Core out a batch of ripe tomatoes. Place them in an oven safe dish in about an inch of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast in the oven at 350F for an hour or so, then take it down to 275F or 300F so the sugars in the tomato don't caramelize and burn. Let them roast down for four or five hours, turning every so often, until they collapse into a flavorful paste in the oil.

Run the results through the food processor and strain if you like to remove skin and seeds. (I don't.) Add some garlic powder and any other spices to taste. You can also let it stand and draw off the oil if you like, but leaving the oil in helps preserve the product in your refrigerator for a longer period of time.

This is a fairly thick paste, so you may want to mix it up with some freshly pureed tomatoes and/or a bit of homemade mayonnaise to give it a more ketchupy texture.

Re: ketchup

Why not just use the 1 carb catsup available from Heinz?
That's what I do-I hope 1 Tbsp won't mess up my Induction??
I add it to drippings to make hamburger chili
