No-sugar-added ketchup
Thick, tangy tomato ketchup with no added sugar: tomato paste, vinegar and a warm touch of spice, simmered for ten minutes in one small pan. It tastes the way ketchup should on a burger, and it keeps for weeks in the fridge.

Ingredients
- 6 oz tomato paste
- 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup erythritol, powdered
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- a pinch ground allspice
Steps
- Whisk everything together in a small saucepan until smooth.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook about 10 minutes, stirring often and scraping the bottom and corners, because tomato paste scorches quickly. Take it off the heat while it is still a little thinner than you want; it thickens as it cools.
- Cool completely before tasting for sweetness and salt. Blend for 30 seconds for an extra-smooth ketchup, then pour into a clean jar or squeeze bottle. Keeps up to 3 weeks in the fridge, or freeze in an ice cube tray for 3 months.
Good to know
Why is mine a bit grainy?
Granulated erythritol does not fully dissolve at this strength. Use powdered, or give the cooled ketchup 30 seconds in a blender.
Can I make it less sweet?
Yes. Use 3 tablespoons of powdered erythritol for a sharper ketchup, at about 50 instead of 44.

As written, 224 kcal goes into the pot and 402 g of ingredients comes out as about 321 g of food: 70 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water and energy density is the score's biggest lever, so the dish is scored as cooked, not as an average of its parts. Every ingredient links to its food page, with the same data and score. The label's percentages are each macronutrient's share of the calories. The full formula.
