I have never tried making my own

ketchup and this question may sound silly, but is bottled campbells

tomato juice legal - the store did not have it in the can except for the

low-sodium one which has other additives? Also do you follow the recipe

for ketchup in the btvc book and how long does it usually simmer?

Thanks.

Tina,

I made ketchup when I was first on the diet in order to determine how to

do it -- and I made it from fresh tomatoes, because the only

ketchup-eater in my immediate family is my mother, and she's on a

salt-free diet, so ketchup made with salted tomato juice would be

anathema for her.

The bottle 's should be OK.

How long it simmers can depend on how humid it is that day. <g> If

it's dry, the moisture roils away quickly. If it's damp, you could be

there for awhile.
