- 1 6 oz can tomato paste (I use Contadina)
- 2 Tbsp White Vinegar
- 3 Tbsp Splenda Granular
- 1/4 tsp onion powder

- 1/8 tsp lite sat (Morton’s)
- 1/4 cup water
Directions
Combine ingredients in a food processor or blender. Run on low until thoroughly mixed.Turn to high (puree) for 3 minutes to smooth out the sauce.
Put the sauce in a small sauce pan on medium heat and bring it to the point that bubbles are appearing and popping, stir frequently.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and let cool.
If you wish to have very smooth texture, force the ketchup through a couple layers of cheese cloth or a very fine weave white cotton kitchen towel.
Put it in a squeeze bottle with a cap and store it in the refrigerator.
