My sister and I were chatting today about how sugar sneaks into nearly everything, including random things like ketchup. I told her to make her own from tomato paste because she likes it on her eggs, but she didn’t have a recipe. Here you go sis! I’ve used this many times.
Homemade Unsweetened Ketchup Recipe

@the dainty pig: thanks! i’m excited.
yum! thanks for posting 🙂 maybe i’ll make it tonight.
This sounds great! I like ketchup, but I’m shying away from the salt and sugar load, so I almost don’t eat any.
@kath: let me know if you try it!
oh my gosh – I was lamenting just this morning that I don’t have ketchup and that just plain tomato paste smeared on eggs is insufficient. Done. I’m making some tonight to join my kale.
Gotta make this for my two year old. The less sugar she ingests the better.
