Tomatoes are a real problem for folks on low acid diets, like the IC diet. Pumpkin makes a suitable substitute.
Pumpkin Ketchup
makes about 1 cup
In a medium sized sauce pan, combine:
16 ounces (2 cups) pumpkin puree
3 packets Truvia-type sweetener
1/3 cup pear juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
Partially cover and simmer over medium-low heat for about an hour, until thickened, stirring occasionally. The ketchup will splatter, but it needs to cook down, hence partial covering. Use anywhere ketchup is desired.
Enjoy!
Truvia-type sweeteners do not work for me, can Splenda type sweeteners work?
