ok this is the one i like the best - it can be made 2 ways;
with ground spices or whole spices -your choice, if using whole you have to strain them out before finishing the ketchup. if you use ground it becomes almost a bit like BBQ sauce - which is great too.

Ketchup

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 100 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Sauces, Dressings, Condiments

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups tomato puree
1/2 tb olive oil
1/4 cup onion chopped
1/2 teaspoon cloves (or 6 whole)
1/2 teaspoon allspice (or 6 whole)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or 1 whole stick)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
to taste splenda



heat olive oil in heavy saucepan, sweat onions, then add all ingredients except splenda. bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, simmer for 1 hour. remove spices if using whole ones. continue to simmer until thick like ketchup. remove from heat, add splenda and can as usual.

i calculate about a carb per tablespoon, but that depends on how much splenda you add. i prefer it tangy.
