Primal Ketchup

Watties tomato sauce is evil, but kids adore it.  My children will pretty much eat anything if it is smothered in tomato sauce, so this recipe is invaluable in our house.  It is not 'perfect' health-wise, but far far healthier, and is absolutely delicious.  I just had this served over Sarah Fragoso's Garden Fresh Meatballs for lunch - nom nom nom!

Primal Ketchup

-1/2 an onion, diced
-2 cloves of garlic
-1/8 tsp. mixed spice
-black pepper to taste (less for kids)
-1 tsp. sea salt (I use Himalayan crystal salt mixed with kelp for minerals)
-1 300g (10oz.) jar of tomato paste
-3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
-2 rounded tablespoons honey

Blend all ingredients until smooth with a stick blender or in the food processor.  Store in a Kiwiana plastic sauce bottle for added authenticity or to make sure the kids can't tell it's homemade!
