Date Paste Sweetened Ketchup

Yield: 3 cups

1. Combine all the ingredients in a sauce pan. Cook on medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, until the date paste is melted and the ingredients blend together.
2. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
3. Add the mixture to a blender or Vitamix and blend until smooth. (Beware, the mixture is hot! Place a towel over the top and hold so top doesn’t pop off).
4. Allow to cool. Store in mason jars or something similar in the refrigerator. Good for up to three weeks.
