Easy Tomato Ketchup
A simple homemade Whole30 Ketchup recipe that takes less then 30 minutes to make and requires just a handful of ingredients. It’s Grain/Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free, SCD Legal.
I always assumed that making ketchup would require hours of boiling and stirring tomatoes into a thick paste, who knew that it takes less then 25 minutes! I was completely shocked at how quickly you can make deliciously smooth and thick homemade ketchup using just a can of tomatoes and a handful of other ingredients.
Instead of using honey in this recipe, I decided to make this ketchup both vegan and Whole30 by naturally sweetening it was dates. The dates also help to thicken the ketchup once everything is pureed in the blender.
I have a big fear of preserving things so have yet to try with this recipe, but if you are braver then I am, this ketchup could be put in sterilized jars and kept for up to 6 months in a dark place.
Looking for things to do with this Whole30 Ketchup? It is delicious served with Butternut Squash Tots, alongside Crispy Carrot Chips, or on top of a Chicken burger.

You might want to change the wording in the last step to add that it can be stored in sterlized jars *after canning*…
Do you think you could freeze this in mini muffin servings and thaw/reheat as needed?
I’ve never tried but I think it would work, let me know if you try!
I’ve made 3 batches of this over the fast week. I love the rich flavours and have started serving it to my 10 year old who is also a fan!
