Ingredients
1 small onion, diced2 green/granny smith apples, peeled and diced2 cloves garlic, minced1/2 teaspoon sea salt1/4 teaspoon allspice1/4 teaspoon cinnamon2 pinches of cloves1/4 teaspoon ginger2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar1/4 cup water6 oz tomato paste
Directions
Place all ingredients into a slow cooker and stir to combine. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 4 hours.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly and then place into a food processor or high speed blender and blend until smooth.

Note: When blending or processing warm foods, do not over-fill the container as the heat will cause the contents to expand and they may splatter out.
Once blended, place the ketchup into glass containers and allow it to come to room temperature before refrigerating.

The ketchup should last for several weeks or more in the refrigerator. If you notice a change in color, smell, or any mold growth, toss it and make new batch.

The texture is very much like store-bought ketchups and you’ll find a little bit of separation when it sits for a while, so a shake or a stir in the jar will combine it back together perfectly.

    Very tasty. Also if you don't blend it until completely smooth but leave it a bit coarse it makes an excellent chili sauce. When I make meatballs I cook them first, then simmer them in chili sauce for about 5 min. before serving. Use as you would gravy. Yum Yum. - 5/3/20
