“Fresh, lovely tomato ketchup (as pictured) doesn’t take long at all to make and is packed with the fresh flavour you would come to expect from something made at home with love. Macros are calculated on 60g / 2.1oz serving, so adjust accordingly as you use it. If you choose to have a more ‘cooked’ flavour to your ketchup, cook the finished product for 10-15 minutes in a pan over moderate heat until it thickens and slightly darkens. Allow to cool completely before chilling. Store both versions covered in the fridge for no longer than 4 days (or freeze it!).” – Monya

More on Fresh Tomato Ketchup…
Tomatoes are not only delicious but also packed with a wide range of health benefits due to their nutritional content. They are a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin A, potassium, and folate.

Tomatoes contain antioxidants such as lycopene, beta-carotene, and quercetin. Lycopene, in particular, is a powerful antioxidant that has been linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and eye conditions.
Regular consumption of tomatoes may help improve heart health. The potassium in tomatoes can help lower blood pressure. Lycopene, the red pigment in tomatoes, has been associated with a lower risk of certain types of cancer, especially prostate cancer. Some studies suggest that lycopene may also help reduce the risk of lung, stomach, and pancreatic cancers.
Tomatoes are a good source of vitamin A and beta-carotene, both of which are essential for maintaining healthy vision. Furthermore, the vitamins and antioxidants in tomatoes can contribute to healthier skin. They may help protect the skin from UV damage, reduce the signs of ageing, and promote a youthful complexion.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Fresh Tomato Ketchup
Per serving
Ingredients
- 750 g (26.5 oz) organic tomatoes, (approx. 7)
- 1 TB white wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp powdered erythritol, confectioners
- salt and white pepper
- pinch ground all-spice
- pinch celery salt
Instructions
- We use only the tomato flesh in this recipe. Here is an easy way to remove the skins and seeds: Trim the tomatoes by removing the little stem area and making a superficial criss-cross incision on the underside.
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil. On the side, have a large bowl of iced water ready.
- Add the tomatoes to the boiling water and cook for a little over a minute, or until you start to see the skin come away. Immediately, use a slotted spoon to remove the tomatoes from the boiling water and plunge into the iced water to prevent further cooking.
- Allow to cool completely, then drain well. Slide off and discard the skins of the tomatoes.
- Take each tomato, and cut into small wedges (quarter, then quarter again). Use a small paring knife to slide off and discard the seeded area.
- You should be left with only the flesh.
- Roughly chop up the tomato flesh and place into a mini food processor.
- Blitz well until smooth. Add the vinegar, Swerve, salt and white pepper, pinch ground all-spice, pinch celery salt (see the pic about how small these ‘pinches’ should be). Blitz again until the tomato ketchup is the smoothest you can get it. The tomato sauce is ready to use.
- As mentioned in the headnote, if you choose to have a more 'cooked' flavour to your ketchup, place the finished product for 10-15 minutes in a pan over moderate heat until it thickens and slightly darkens. Allow to cool and then store in the fridge for no longer than 4 days.
