I will let you know how it goes. Making it for my nephew. He is allergic to about everything. I wanted to make a sloppy joe that he can eat with the rest of us.
AgamemnonMy Homemade Ketchup is a success.
~95% anyway. 😉
6 oz. tomato paste.
4 oz. water.
2 oz. vinegar…..I used half apple cider vinegar and half just plain white vinegar.
4 teaspoons white sugar.
1 teaspoon salt.
.
Just mix it up no cooking required and the consistency is close.
You can heat the water and vinegar to dissolve the salt and sugar.
This is way less sugar than most recipes, but I like it and I think it close to Hunts Ketchup. That is the ketchup I like best.I will do another batch to check the recipe.

This is what I started with.
The first batch was way too sweet.
The second batch didn’t taste right, so I cut out the cooking. Not all recipes call for cooking. I think that is just to get the right consistency.
The third batch was pretty good. AgamemnonIf you used stevia instead of sugar, how much? Any guesstimate will do. Thanks!

Let’s say you’ve decided to substitute stevia for the sugar in some of your favorite recipes. How do you determine the amount to use? Unfortunately, we can’t give you an exact answer for several reasons. Very sour foods like cranberries and lemons need more sweetener than a pie baked with apples or pears, which are naturally sweet. Then there’s personal preference. Some people like their foods sweeter than others. There’s also a cultural difference. As a rule, Americans like their foods sweet.
To complicate matters even further, there are a number of different companies that make stevia. The quality, flavor, and sweetness varies from product to product. Your best option is to try a few different brands and choose the one you like best. Some companies combine pure stevia powder with maltodextrin or another filler. While such products are still sweet, they don’t compare in strength to the pure powder.
Although different stevia products offer different levels of sweetness, we have provided approximate stevia equivalencies. When substituting stevia for sugar, use the following chart to determine proper amounts. Remember, these equivalents are approximate.
When you need only the smallest amount of sweetener to flavor a cup of tea or coffee, for example, you may find the stevia powder a little difficult to adjust. Even the tiny amount you may gather onto the point of a dinner knife might make that cup of tea or coffee too sweet. For this reason, we recommend turning the powder into a “working solution.”
Dissolve one teaspoon of white powder in three tablespoons of filtered water. Pour the solution into a dropper-style bottle and refrigerate. You can also buy ready-made stevia liquid concentrate from your local health food store.
The stevia powder referred to in this chart is the pure form, or the liquid made from the pure powder.
There does not seem to be an exact conversion. According to this, about 1/4 teaspoon?

****Revised – change vinegar to from 2 oz. to 4 oz. It was a typo. I just wrote it down wrong when I posted. Agamemnon
