**Update: When I first published this recipe I accidentally left out two key ingredients, the water and the honey! 🤦♀️Please use this revised recipe.**
Makes about 1 3/4 cups of ketchup
Drain the canned carrots and beets.
In a high speed blender combine all ingredients. Blend until pureed. If it's too thick, add 1 Tb of water.
(Depending on your blender, the puree will be fine and smooth or a little chunky. The Vitamix made it fine and smooth, the Ninja blender made it chunky).
Pour puree into a medium sauce pan, cover, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Uncover and reduce to a simmer for 20 min, stirring occasionally.
When the ketchup is done, let it cool for 10-15 minutes, then store 1-2 servings in a small airtight container in the fridge. Freeze the rest in tiny containers or an ice cube tray.
Keeps for 1 week in the fridge, but for lowest histamine levels, use within 1-2 days.

Guys, before this diet, ketchup was a staple in my diet. I seriously LOVE ketchup. When I ate fries I always had to use like 8 ketchup packets. So giving ketchup up was rough. Meat and potatoes tasted so bland. I did eventually get used to eating without ketchup, but I still searched high and low for a low histamine ketchup recipe that wasn't made from blueberries...because I'm not that adventurous.
Then I found this recipe and with a few tweaks it was completely low histamine friendly. As it was simmering on the stove, I was amazed by how much it smelled like and looked like ketchup! Then came the taste test...it's a winner!!!! I keep a stash in the freezer and pull it out when I have hamburgers or potato fries. You know what's just as awesome as low histamine ketchup? Sweet and sour sauce, made from low histamine ketchup! That recipe will be coming up soon 😉
