The method

Step by step

1
Combine the crushed tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, water, erythritol, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a medium saucepan.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Ensure all ingredients are well mixed before heating.
2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
About 5 min
3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
About 30 min
Cook’s note: The ketchup should thicken as it simmers. Adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the ketchup to cool completely.
About 1 hr
Cook’s note: Cooling allows the flavors to meld and the ketchup to thicken further.
5
For a smoother consistency, transfer the cooled ketchup to a blender or food processor and blend until desired smoothness is achieved.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: If you prefer a chunkier ketchup, you can skip this step.
6
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more erythritol for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or salt for flavor.
7
Transfer the finished ketchup to an airtight container.
