This is my first ketchup recipe made to be free of corn and gluten. It is a favorite in our home because it is fresh, has enough spice and is not as sweet as commercially made ketchup. The fun part is that we can adjust some of the spices depending on our meals and the Mini-Foodies enjoy helping Mama out with measuring, but mostly with the tasting!
