Low Histamine Nomato Ketchup-Updated

Yields1 ServingPrep Time10 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time30 mins

Enjoy your potato fries and meat with delicious low histamine tomato free ketchup!

 1 cup Carrots sliced, canned (about 3/4 of a 14.5 oz can)
  cup Red beets sliced, canned (about 2/3 of a 14.5 oz can)
  cup White onion, diced
 ½ cup White distilled vinegar*
  cup Water
 ½ cup Honey
 1 tsp Salt
 ¼ tsp Garlic powder
 ¼ tsp Onion powder
  tsp Cloves
Histamine Level: 1
 Rated a 1 due to canned veggies and garlic powder
 For level 0 use fresh veggies (about 3 medium size beets & 2-3 large carrots) and boil until tender, then puree.
 Omit garlic if not well tolerated
 Vinegar can be reduced to 1/4c. Just add a 1/4c more of water as well. The taste won't be as similar to regular ketchup, but is still reminiscent of it.
 *vinegar is a controversial ingredient. The SIGHI list has it rated a level 0, but they recommend using it sparingly. As always, use your own best judgment.
1

Drain the canned carrots and beets.

2

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).

3

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.

4

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.
