How long does it last in the fridge?
Hi Robert. It’ll keep for up to 10 days in the fridge.
So the only sugar is from the apple
Hi Sharon, Yes, that’s right. We hope you enjoy the recipe!
Simple, healthy, and oh so yummy!!!
Excellent! I was able to make in a mini food processor. I might never buy ketchup again.
The amounts were for a good start for us. I upped the seasoning to half a teaspoon; I also added onion powder. I added more water too to make it thinner. I think a bigger apple would’ve made a difference. Unfortunately I didn’t weight it, but I’ll take notes for next time.
I used my tomato paste I made from the FOK recipe for that, and added a bit of sweet leaf stevia plant for a sweeter taste. I like this recipe as I’m in total control of the ingredients, and no High Fructose Corn Syrup, thanks to using all natural ingredients!! Yay!!
I made this today and it turned out pretty good. I added a tiny bit of agave to sweeten it up a little bit. I might try using a date next time, or a touch of maple syrup. My ketchup loving son tasted it and said it will work (he’s a Heinz ketchup lover). Definitely will make this again.
How can I make tomato paste at home? Is it the same as raw tomato puree?
