My Husband's Recipes

As we gave up High Fructose Corn Syrup, we started cooking things. As it became apparent a year later that I am allergic to corn, we started cooking everything. So I am going to start posting his recipes he has developed. They will be in no particular order, but they are things it is hard to find and then it is trial and error. He has already done the trial and error part!

Ketchup will be number one recipe. Even organic ketchup has vinegar, which is distilled from corn. I found this out after getting very sick on Rudy's organic bread. It says "cultured wheat flour". What that means is they soak it in vinegar and dry it out to inhibit mold. Yum.

Perfect ketchup:

6 oz tomato paste 3 T apple cider vinegar
8 oz tomato sauce 1 T balsamic vinegar
1 & 1/2 T packed brown sugar 1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 cup water 1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp salt 1 tsp onion powder
pinch clove powder pinch allspice

Combine all ingredients. Cook until just hot, bottle and refrigerate.
