Frustrated by the hidden sugars and carbs in store-bought ketchup, Mia, a keto diet aficionado and amateur chef, was determined to create a homemade ketchup that would not only meet her strict dietary requirements but also rival the taste of traditional ketchup.
After experimenting with various combinations of ingredients, Mia finally crafted the perfect blend: a rich tomato base with apple cider vinegar for tang, a mix of Swerve and Lakanto for natural sweetness, and a selection of spices for depth. The addition of xanthan gum ensured the ketchup had the iconic thickness everyone loves. Mia’s “Completely Keto Homemade Ketchup” was a hit among her friends and family, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for health.
