Ketchup--Low Carb

You will discover that most commercial ketchups are far too high in sugar and carbs for our way of eating, so you may want to make your own. Here's an easy one to start with.

3 cups canned tomatoes (pureed in blender)
2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 pkg Splenda

Put everything in a sauce pan and simmer slowly 1 1/2 hours stirring often.
Take off heat and stir in 2 pkg sweetener. Cool and pour in a jar. Keeps 4 months in the fridge. Makes 24 oz at 0.83 carbs per Tbsp. I
f you plan to cook with this, use Splenda or another heat-stable sweetener. Aspartame (Equal) is *not* heat stable.
