Making your own ketchup at home is SO easy to do with only a few ingredients in about 10-minutes. With this sugar-free vegan ketchup, you get to control exactly what goes into it.
Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan on medium-high heat.
If using date paste in place of the maple syrup, the ratio is 1:1, so 1.5 tablespoons.
Whisk together well. Take a peek at the cooking demo below of me showing how to make this recipe.
Allow the ingredients to come to a boil.
Once boiling has begun, you can reduce the temperature if needed to keep it from boiling out onto your stove or skin.
Continue to whisk for a few minutes as the spices begin to marry-up.
Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pour into an airtight jar or container and refrigerate for at least a few hours before using. This is the awesome glass ketchup bottle pictured in this recipe.
