No-Cook AIP Ketchup

My AIP No-Cook Ketchup makes everything savory better and dip-able.

Paleo Autoimmune Protocol got you missing all things tomatoes and nightshades? Fuggetaboutit! We don’t need no stinkin’ tomatoes.

Nightshade-free or bust. And all that anti-inflammatory jazz.

Pin It!

AIP Ketchup is LIFE.

What exactly IS a baked sweet potato French fry or eggless, gluten-free meatloaf without ketchup?

Not much if you ask me. We need DIP, folks. And that dip better be subtly tangy, slightly sweet, and deliciously spiced or we ain’t buyin’ it, let alone making it.

But how do you make the saucy red condiment staple without tomatoes?

Pumpkin and beets, my dear, is the answer. When proportioned just right, you don’t taste the beets. You don’t taste the pumpkin. You don’t even taste the punkinbeats. *ahem – nerd alert*

The apple cider vinegar lends that vinegary twang. Cinnamon, mace and cloves warm the flavor profile up. Garlic, onion and coconut nectar give that authentic balance of sweet-savory flavor we all expect from a decent bottle of ketchup.

Do you say catsup or ketchup? Hunni calls it KATSUP because he is from the Midwest. He also calls Reese’s cups REE-CEES and wolves WOOFS and the roof ROOV. (Hunni, I doth love you.)

Hit your ketchup up with your blender.

An immersion blender, a silicone scraper, and a large, wide-mouth mason jar are my favorite tools for whipping up this goodness. You could also use a high speed blender, and maybe even a food processor.

Although I have made several different kinds of sauces in my blender and food pro, I have not tried those last two with this particular recipe, so results may vary.

I give it a good go ’round for about two minutes to ensure the spices are pulverized and blended in very well. Since we aren’t cooking this culinary concoction, the extra time processing it is important to meld the textures and flavors.

Once the ketchup is smooth, I use the rubber scraper to get every last scrumptious bit into a smaller sized jar with a tight-fitting lid.

This No-Cook AIP Ketchup will last up to two weeks in the fridge.

If you don’t plan to use lots and gobs and oodles of ketchup within that time frame, you can easily halve the recipe.

Please note that halving it will make it a bit harder to make in the blender or food processor.

Easy peasy tomato-free squeezy. Now all you gotta do is cook up them plantain fries, hun.

Enjoy!

AIP No-Cook Ketchup

A nightshade-free and AIP compliant ketchup that uses beets, pumpkin, and special spices. Meet your new, easy favorite condiment to dip your Paleo Autoimmune Protocol-friendly fries in!

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup BPA-free canned or packaged sliced beets drained (about 6 slices)
  • 7 fl oz pumpkin puree about 5/6 cup
  • 1/4 cup ACV
  • 2 Tbsp coconut nectar, date syrup, or maple syrup
  • 1 to 2 tsp Himalayan salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground mace
  • 1/4 tsp ground clove
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Add ingredients to a tall wide-mouth mason jar (or add to a blender) in order listed.
  • Use an immersion blender on high (or blend on medium-high in a blender) to puree the mixture for about two minutes or until very smooth.
  • Add a bit more water at a time if you desire a thinner ketchup.
  • Use a silicone scraper to transfer the ketchup into a smaller jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Store in the fridge. Will keep for up to two weeks.

Notes

For a smaller batch, the recipe easily halves (but is easier to make in the immersion blender when reduced).
Ketchup will thicken and separate in the fridge as it contains no stabilizers or chemicals. Stir well before removing desired portion.
Goes great in and on top of meatloaf!
