It is super easy and cheap to make your own ketchup. You can adjust the flavors and spicy to find a combination that works for you. Here is the recipe that I used to make the Molasses Baked Beans that you will see posted next.

i love that this has such little sugar! and i am sure agave would work in its place, no? thanks for the recipe!

Janetha ~ Absolutely. I pondered using agave, but, I wanted to give my sucanat a try. I think it would work out well with agave – especially dark agave since it tastes like brown sugar.
Good luck,
Danica

Do you know how long this would keep in the fridge? Thanks 🙂

Lesli, It should last about 2 weeks in a tighlty sealed container – give/take.
