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.
