Why you’ll love this recipe
This is no regular Whole30 ketchup recipe!
No, this is the Whole30 ketchup of hope. Of Promise.
This Whole30 ketchup recipe means bang bang shrimp and In N Out animal style-inspired burgers and meatloaf. This Whole30 ketchup recipe makes all of those other recipes possible.
And you know what else about this Whole30 ketchup recipe? No dates, sister. No dates, no blending, nada. In fact, I’m sort of anti-dates in a Whole30. For me, they’re total candy, and I found myself noshing on them in the early days of my last round, clearly just staving off that sugar dragon in the laziest of ways. Oh, and speaking of lazy? I’m anti-dates in a sauce because, lazy. Dates in sauces mean blending, more dishes, more hand-washing (uh, dates are sticky), more just more.
So this Whole30 ketchup recipe is sweetened a different way — my favorite way, in fact! With the almighty coconut aminos.
The thing about coconut aminos is that they’re sweet! They’re sort of salty, but not very. I never entirely replace salt with coconut aminos, but I absolutely love using them to give a recipe a natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
And they’re absolutely perfect in this Whole30 ketchup recipe. It works like this: stir some stuff together, let it simmer, and… you’re done. Easy, easy, easy.
What makes this recipe so good
- It tastes just like “regular” ketchup but is free of added sugars and Whole30 compliant.
- This Whole30 ketchup recipe includes no dates, meaning no blending!
- It comes together super easily and keeps in the fridge for a long time.
Recipe Variations
- Stir in a bit of my Whole30 sriracha recipe for a spicy take on this Whole30 ketchup.
- Blend the whole batch with a couple of cloves of garlic for a delicious, garlicky ketchup.
- Whisk in about 1/2-1 cup of my Whole30 mayo for an awesome and easy creamy dip!
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! And also no. You can have compliant ketchup, like this ketchup recipe, or a store-bought version like Tessemae’s. If your ketchup has any type of sugar listed in the ingredients, it’s not compliant. You can check out my Whole30 food list here to make sure you’re avoiding even the sneakiest of sugars!
My very favorite coconut aminos are from Big Tree Farms. They’re affordable and super delicious, thick, and rich. I have a bottle in the fridge at all times and a bottle in the pantry as a backup. I don’t play around with coconut aminos, y’all. They’re key in my Whole30 egg roll in a bowl recipe and my Whole30 lettuce wraps, too.
No! Please don’t. The coconut aminos give this ketchup its sweetness and richness, and you’d be missing a lot of both without it.
Making changes to a recipe can result in recipe failure. Any substitutions or variations listed are simple changes that I believe will work in this recipe, but results are not guaranteed.

It was quick and simple to make. Taste delicious!
So glad you enjoyed it, Shawn!
My husband loves this recipe!
Are you able to can for longer storage?
We haven’t tried canning this recipe, so we can’t say for sure how it would turn out. However, it does last up to 4 weeks when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator!
Do I need to sterilize the glass jar before filling it with this ketchup? Or will soaking a jar in hot sudsy water suffice?
Hi, Stephen! This recipe lasts up to 4 weeks in the fridge, and there’s no sterilizing necessary! 😊
Any way to sub allspice if I don’t have that one ingredient?
Cinnamon is a common allspice substitute! 😊
Love this ketchup!!! I added just a pinch of brown coconut sugar to mine! Chefs kiss 😘
Ooh, yum! So glad you love it, Tiff!
