Home-made tomato ketchup

[Zingano]

I've just made some tomato ketchup. Ingredients (for a large passata-sized jar) - 6 tomatoes, jar of passata, 1 onion, 3 cloves garlic, some cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, spices (cinnamon, allspice, a little cloves), 3 fresh dates.

 

Is this OK on whole 30? I intend to use just a tablespoon or two as a sauce for fried fish.

Sounds good!

It tastes fab Tom! (I did have a little taste). Just like making mayonnaise - I'm not going to be going back to shop-made.

 

Next up brown sauce (HP). Do you get that in the States?

My husband loves brown sauce! If you find a tasty recipie for that I would be very interested

[Zingano]

Certainly will.  this suggests a base of apples and prunes, but I think looking at wikipedia I'll be adding some tamarind.

Here's another version that looks interesting:

Don't know why they need all that sugar when there are dates and prunes in it!
