Well, although not too common in stores,
there are many versions of tomato-less ketchup,
and this homemade ketchup recipe is just
one of many. It's excellent with meats,
chicken and even French fries and is well
worth your time and effort.
And,
as usual when you make it yourself, you
control the ketchup ingredients, so you
get it preservative and gunk free, you control
the sugar levels, and you can even prepare
it as organic ketchup. Real 'gourmet ketchup'!
So why not go ahead and give this nice 'n
spicy sauce a try?
