If your kids love (and can tolerate) ketchup, this is a super easy and safe way to make your own. If you are managing a garlic allergy, this recipe is also a great option, just leave out the garlic powder.
Use your favorite allergy safe ketchup as the base for this simple recipe. I am very thankful that Mr. N is not allergic to tomato. I found a safe organic non-high fructose corn syrup from Trader Joe's. It's sugar and sodium content could use some improvement but the main thing it's safe for our food allergies.
By now, you know I love 'all natural' if possible and tend to make things from scratch. But you may not know I would love to use some regular pre-packaged food/meals once in awhile. And I do. It's just hard to find many that fit our allergy needs. So that in a nut shell, is my explanation for semi homemade things. Goodness know we food allergy moms do more than our fair share of baking and cooking from scratch. :-) I'm not saying I won't even make my own ketchup in the future but it's just a luxury to use the time somewhere else.

Ingredients
BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup ketchup (I use Trader Joe's Organic Ketchup)
- 1 T molasses
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 T water (optional if too thick)
- Pulled pork (See Cilantro Lime Rice Pulled Pork)
Directions
- Combine all ingredients and mix well. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in a tightly sealed container. (This recipe can easily be double or tripled. I found that it will thickened up after a day but also tastes better the longer it sits.)
