No-Tomato Ketchup

Heinz is yummy - however THIS ketchup is tastier! Tart, sweet, and rich all at the same time. If tomatoes are off your list, this recipe is for you. It's made of carrot, sweet potato, and beet, but you'd never guess. Commercial catsup is loaded with GMO high-fructose corn sugar. So why buy it ...

The resulting by-product is mashed and pulverized including the hull and husk, and dried...
