Ketchup?

[ladyhoward 149]

I cannot find sugar-free ketchup anywhere - anybody have any luck? I suppose I could make my own but not sure of a good recipe for that. I appreciate any guidance you all may have on this - I have a meatloaf recipe that my whole family likes and all I had to change was the flour (and the ketchup of course). Would love to still be able to make it while on the Whole30.

Here's a recipe from Paleo Diet Lifestyle.

Ingredients

• 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste;
  
• 2 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice;
  
• 1/4 tsp dry mustard;
  
• 1/3 cup water;
  
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon;
  
• 1/4 tsp salt;
  
• 1 pinch ground cloves;
  
• 1 pinch ground allspice;
  
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, optional;
  

Preparation

1. Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk well to combine. Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors develop and enjoy!

There is one that is sweetened with fruit juice but it has other weird ingredients in it. Best to make your own. You can use a bit of unsweetened applesauce if you want it sweet.

Back when I made meat loaf in my pre-paleo days, I added shredded carrots to the meat instead of bread crumbs and used salsa instead of ketchup. I just thought salsa was better than ketchup. Still do.

This recipe is the one I use for my ketchup. It tastes more spicy (as in, full of spices, not spicy hot) than ketchup, but it's quite tasty!

Does anyone know if Heinz sugar free ketchup is whole30 compliant?

What are the ingredients? That is going to determine if it is compliant.

What's in it?  I imagine some sort of alternate sweetener?

Yup, and the sucralose makes it non-complaint

This one seems Whole30. In fact it has the Whole30 logo on the label: https://www.primalkitchen.com/products/organic-unsweetened-ketchup

Primal Kitchen ketchup is indeed compliant. You always know you are safe if the Whole30 logo is on a product!

[True Primal 2]

Yeah I want one of those logos. ;-)
