Servings 60 tablespoons

Ingredients
  

  • 21 ounce tomato paste*
  • cup fish sauce**
  • ¼ cup whey***
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • teaspoon paprika
  • Sugar-free sweetener to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon molasses
  • Optional: 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions
 

  • Put everything into a large container. This recipe is too large for my emulsion blender's container, so I use a large mason jar. If you don't have an emulsion blender, you can mix this in a blender.
  • Put emulsion blender all the way into container so that bottom of blender is resting on the bottom of the container. Turn on and blend for 30-60 seconds, moving blender up and down until fully blended.
  • Put ketchup in a glass container and put a lid on it. If using whey, let it sit on the counter for 3 days, then place in refrigerator. If not using whey, put ketchup directly into refrigerator.

How to Make Whey

  • Line a colander with several layers of cheesecloth or a piece of muslin. Place colander over bowl to contain whey. Take a small container of plain yogurt (cannot be flavored or sweetened) and put it into the colander. Cover and let sit for 2-3 hours. Return yogurt to container and use as you would Greek yogurt. Place whey in jar with lid and keep in refrigerator.

Notes

* Or use 2 ½ cups + 2 tablespoons tomato paste.
**Can sub 1/3 cup soy sauce, or 1 ½ tablespoons salt.
*** Optional, but recipe to make it is included below.
