What to serve homemade ketchup with
Maple syrup ketchup is a bit like BBQ sauce; it goes with many different things.
Dip it in; sweet potato wedges, air-fried fingerling potatoes, or a Neapolitan pizza.
Add it to; Veggie burger, egg bites, or potato skins.
What can I use if I don’t have ketchup?
You can use tomato paste or tomato sauce, but you’ll want to add extra sweetener.
Follow the recipe, taste, and add extra maple syrup until you get the sweetness you prefer.
Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Sure, you can; they are both sweet and would work well.
Use runny honey, and we recommend tasting the ketchup as you add the honey to it.
