This Carrot Ketchup was born from an obvious need for a tasty, healthy ketchup substitute during my time on the autoimmune protocol. But as a lifelong ketchup-lover, I was worried that it just wouldn’t be good enough. I mean, I was a ketchup addict. If I didn’t quite like a dish, I could just put ketchup on it and be happy as a clam. It had been especially helpful as an aid to make organ meats more palatable. But look at this stuff! It has the same gorgeous red color of real ketchup and an unbelievably similar taste. In fact, how great this recipe turned out is what inspired me to try Nomato Sauce, which is still one of my most popular recipes. So if you’ve been missing ketchup on the AIP, too, or have to avoid nightshades for some other reason, give this stuff a try! Thanks to the vinegar, it keeps well in the fridge, but I wouldn’t hang onto it for more than two weeks.
Are you suffering from adrenal fatigue?
Are You Tired and Wired? is one of my favorite books on adrenal fatigue with chronic illness. It’s a comprehensive yet straightforward examination of the factors at work and home that contribute to chronic adrenal dysfunction and the diet, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional reprogramming that can help fix it. A healthcare provider with a focus on women’s health, Marcelle Pick will help you identify what type of adrenal dysfunction you suffer from and provide an easy-to-follow, science-based program to help you restore balance to your life. I found it extremely helpful with my own chronic fatigue!

About how long should this stay good?
I made some about 5 days ago and it’s delicious!! I have used it as a dressing for salad. I have used it as a dip for my burgers, pork chops & roasted broccoli.
Food safety regulations suggest three days in the fridge for most foods. I’m so glad you like it!!!
Hi there can you recommend different spices to use so this can be LowFodmap too? Thanks!
You would have to omit the apple juice, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder. You could try swapping the honey for maple syrup and the apple juice for equal parts maple syrup and garlic-infused oil but since I’ve never tried it myself, I can’t say how it would come out. Let us know how it goes if you give it a try!
