AIP Ketchup (Nightshade Free)

Sharing is caring!

This AIP ketchup is naturally nightshade friendly and only takes minutes to make. The pumpkin pure combined with the beets is oh so delicious! This recipe goes great with just about anything. 

What makes this AIP Ketchup so good?

• Few things-
  • I love a good home cooked recipe, but lots of steps and time can be intimidating. This recipe is quick, it requires just a few minutes of hands on time and requires minimal kitchen equipment. 
  • Secondly, it is a great way to get a bunch of different vegetables in without even knowing it!

Pumpkin Ketchup ingredients: 

• Canned pumpkin-Be sure that you do not buy pumpkin pie filling and be sure to buy just pumpkin puree. I like the Whole Foods 360 brand. 
• Beets-Make sure they are cooked. You can buy your beets precooked in the grocery store or cook them yourself. 
• Garlic-To all more flavor!
• Apple cider vinegar-To add some tanginess to the sauce. 
• Maple syrup-To add some sweetness, if you are more into unsweetened sauces-skip the maple syrup!
• Sea salt-I like pink sea salt. 
• Yellow onion-To add even more flavor. 

How to make:

• First, make sure your beets are peeled. 
• Next, place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. 

What kind of food processor do you suggest?

• I am obsessed with this ONE! I have had it for years and it has held up so well. It is a food processor as well as a blender and it is great for smoothies and sauces! 

How should I cook beets?

• You can buy your beets already cooked in the grocery store, or you can cook them yourself. If you cook them yourself, you can either put them in the instant pot or on the stovetop. 
  • How to cook beets on the stovetop:
    • First, remove the stems. Then, boil them in boiling water for 40 minutes. Once the beets are cooked allow them to cool and then peel and dice them.
  • How to cook beets in the instant pot:
    • First, remove the stems and add 3 cups of water to the instant pot. Set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 20 minutes. I love this instant pot HERE.

How long does the AIP ketchup last?

• I suggest keeping the pumpkin ketchup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
