Tomato ketchup (slimming world friendly)
I confess I love tomato ketchup but it can be loaded with sugar and if you are following the slimming world plan you have to count it as 'syns'. I had a good play around in the kitchen with ingredients until I finally came up with this one.
The problem I found with a lot of recipes is that they use tinned tomatoes and chopped onions which is fine but then you need to blend it and that can be a pain. This way you just add everything together and simmer. I buy my white balsamic in Lidl it's less than a pound and by using the white one it keeps the lovely red colour. I also buy the garlic and onion granules at the supermarket (I got mine in ASDA) and it works out quite economical and as a bonus you know exactly what is in it couldn't be easier and you can save your 'syns' for something else yummy : )
Syn free on all plans
