Dana Carpender ’ s Easy No-Sugar-Added Ketchup

Prolific low-carb cookbook author and friend, Dana Carpender, shared this recipe for ketchup made without sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fructose, or the newly-named “corn sweetener.” Instead, she chose the natural sweeteners, monk fruit and erythritol, found in Virtue Sweetener, also the most economical of natural, non-caloric sweeteners.

Let it cook for 15 minutes, cool, and it’s done. I used a funnel to pour mine into an old squeeze-type ketchup bottle for ease of use, but a jar or snap-top container will do just fine.
