Bowl of cocktail sauce

Tomato Ketchup and cocktail sauce

by Dr. Kellyann
Table of Contents

    Prep time: 5 min • Cook time: 5 to 10 min • Yield: 1 cup

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup tomato paste, sugar- and dextrose-free
    • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
    • ¼ cup apple juice, unsweetened
    • Pinch onion powder
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves*

    Directions

    1. Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over very low heat for about 5 minutes, continually stirring to prevent scorching. If you want the ketchup to thicken further, you can continue to keep it at a very low simmer for a few more minutes.
    2. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. It will keep refrigerated for about 2 weeks.

    Note: The ketchup is heated to encourage all the flavors meld; it will also slightly thicken.

    The cloves are important to make the ketchup more robust and aromatic, but you can omit it.

    Variation: To make cocktail sauce mix ½ cup ketchup with 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish. (Find it in the refrigerated case at the grocery store.) Add a dash of hot sauce and stir. Adjust horseradish to suit your tastes.

    Perfect with chilled shrimp!
