Chipotle Ketchup might just be your new favorite condiment. It’s spicy and sharp with all the flavors your fries require. BTW it is easy to make too! Whip up a batch this weekend. It will be gone by Monday!
Regular ketchup has lots of sugar
Have you seen some of those videos about how much sugar is in regular commercial ketchup? It’s a little staggering. I am trying to reduce the amount of sugar that I consume in a day. Chipotle Ketchup has quickly become a staple in my refrigerator. You can even use it as a spicy meatloaf topping, recipe here.
Every tablespoon (15ml) of regular commercial ketchup contains almost 4 grams of sugar. If you check the label on the can of chile chipotle required for this recipe, you will see a small amount of added sugar. Therefore, this recipe for ketchup is not “sugar-free.” Each serving of this Chipotle Ketchup has .5 grams of sugar, which definitely fits into a low-carb diet.
Thin or thick texture
When I made my batch of Chipotle Ketchup, I tested the thickness after 10, 20 and 30 minutes. For my taste, the 30-minute cooking time gave me the rich thick texture that I was craving. We used it with some beef ribs and it was amazing! However, you can certainly simmer for only 20 minutes to obtain a thinner texture. Opting for a thin texture goes better with delicate proteins such as seafood.
I love this Chipotle Ketchup on burgers, hot dogs, pork ribs and boiled seafood. It’s a great housewarming gift if you are invited to a home BBQ. If you can find some homegrown tomatoes, even better! As always, this sauce tastes better when made 1 day in advance of serving.
