I completely forgot to take pictures of this when I was making it because it was so fast and simple, when I remake it I will take a picture :)

Pizza Muffins
Can this be frozen?
Yes it can
How long will this stay good in fridge?
A friend at work gave me a bunch of yellow grape tomatoes today and a bunch of them were split open so I rinsed, food processed, strained for the tomato sauce part of the recipe. I did add a tiny drizzle of black strap molasses and not having ANY mustard powder and wanting some hint of the mustard, I used a squirt of brown mustard. The last improvisation was to supplement my apple cider vinegar with some honey wine vinegar. I have to say, best.ketchup.ever!
OK planning to make this – this week. Wonder if anyone knows the sugar content of this verse’s TJ’s ketchup. My DD needs to be on a low/no sugar diet for a few weeks.
My 4 year old finished his sweet potato fries and then used a fork to finish the catsup. I call that a winner!! Love all your recipes
Woohoo that is an accomplishment
So just an FYI if you accidentally use 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar instead of 2 teaspoons like I did, add 2 teaspoons of raw honey & make it delish again! :)
Good to know
So in the UK, is passata the UK equivalent of the ‘tomato sauce’ required to make this awesome looking ketchup?
I do not know because I am unaware of what passata is
Pureed Tomato sauce, nothing added. ?
Yes, passata is the same as plain tomato sauce in North America :)
I found a recipe recently that called for tomato passata, which I didn’t think we had here in the States, so I looked it up. As best I can tell, tomato sauce is a cooked product, whereas tomato passata is not cooked during processing. All of which is to say, I’m sure you could use it in place of tomato sauce!
Made this last night as I was out of ketchup and knew my husband and daughter would want some for their meal. It was a hit and my son who HATES ketchup absolutely loved it
Woohoo so glad you all enjoyed
Hola! I read from your site a lot. I do my own sauces and I’m confused as to what the diffrence between a tomato sauce and a tomato paste is? Hope you can help with this. Saludos!!!
A tomato sauce is more watery and has a sauce consistency. Tomato paste is concetrated tomatos that literally look like paste. Its is really thick
This was delish! I added in some stevia for some sweetness and cayenne to spice mine up. :)
So glad you enjoyed
Homemade sauces are usually not that good but this one is a welcome addition in my kitchen
So glad you like it :)
I’m quite impressed with all your recipes they can be easily altered for the candida diet, tonight I’m making the coconut shrimp with pineapple sauce and plan on using it for more then just dip.
this is on the stove as we speak….my tomato sauce/paste was super acidic so I juiced an apple and threw it in and also added some onion powder. Freaking amazing. Will be using it to make the raspberry bbq sauce later today!
You are the bomb
Nope I could eat it by itself for a meal lol
OMG. Made this over the weekend to put on top of a paleo meatloaf. (Had to add non-paleo brown sugar for my husband.) But, the catsup by itself was AMAZING! Is it wrong that I just ate a few spoonfuls by itself?
Thank you Jill
never had to describe it before…..here goes!!
um, it's a thick sauce of pureed tomatoes (probably with other things). it's not as thick as tomato paste. like a heavy gravy?? (am I right or wrong Americans??)
and it's not really catsup…
type "tomato sauce can" in google images and you'll see what it looks like.
hunt's and Heinz are 2 famous brands I can think of. Of course they make catsup, but they make other tomato products, too..like sauce, diced, stewed tomatoes, etc..
sorry to ask a stupid question, but what is tomato sauce? that is our name for catsup in Aus, so i'm unsure what im looking for….is it just liquid tomatoes?
You are most welcome
delicious, thanks!
