In reply to Maz. Good to know! The tomato sauce that is used as ingredient is basically pureed tomato (not the thick type, but thinner one like you can see from the photos).

Sorry, that wasn’t very clear. What you call ketchup is called tomato sauce in England.

I’m in England and the term tomato sauce is actually ketchup here. Do you mean passata/tomato juice?

In reply to Baker Judy. Hi, you can certainly replace stevia with powdered erythritol. Confectioner's Style Swerve should work well. Just add it carefully in the beginning, and add more if you need. It's quite sweet. Hope you'll like the ketchup!

Hi Elvira,

I found this recipe from your flatbread recipe. Someone recommended that to me.

But I would love to make this ketchup. I don’t like Stevia. how can I sub with a powdered sweetener, like Swerve. Trial and error?

Thank you ever so much for sharing!

In reply to Aulbert West. Hi Aulbert, yes, dry stevia can be used instead of liquid stevia. You can use for example lemon juice instead of vinegar, or replace part of the vinegar with lemon juice. Another option is a pinch of citric acid or ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to give the needed tang. Hope this helps!

I am anxious to try this recipe. Being a type 2 diabetic, I drink vinegar water using 1/2 tablespoon of Bragg or another brand of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in order to lower my blood sugar before I eat. But research shows that if too much vinegar [No more than 2 tablespoons per day] it becomes ineffective at lowering blood sugar. So, two questions 1] Can a dry form of stevia be used instead of the liqui?. That’s what I have and 2] Is there a substitute for the vinegar that is healthy? I like the fact that there are only a few ingredients and the Cayenne Pepper is also a good blood thinner, good for circulation. Most of the other recipes had many ingredients, but did include the vinegar, the only one that had only 6 called for light brown sugar, but that is not an option for me because it is still a sugar.

I get a kick out some of the argumentative people responding to this recipe. Jeez.
