This healthy ketchup recipe is an easy way to healthify your condiment selection. It is salt free and sugar free, so you can feel better about pouring it and dipping it!
Combine dates and diced tomatoes in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, put the lid on the pan, and allow to soak about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and saute 5-10 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, the tomato/date combo, and all the remaining ingredients. Bring to a simmer, and continue cooking and stirring for 10-15 minutes, until thickened.
Remove from the heat, and carefully pour into a blender or food processor. Process on high until very smooth.
Chill, and use as desired. Will keep in the refrigerator for about 2-3 weeks. Can be frozen for up to 6 months.
