Homemade Chocolate

I watched an Above Rubies video last night. It's called "Pearl's Chocolates". I'm going to try to make these. Here's the link:

Homemade Sugar-Free Ketchup

1 6 oz. can tomato paste
1/2 cup splenda
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup + 1/8 cup water
1 teasp. salt
1/4 teasp. onion powder
1/8 teasp. garlic powder

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until smooth. When mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 20 min, stirring often.

***I use less splenda than this (about 1/4-1/3 cup). I don't like my ketchup too sweet.
***I triple this to fit into my container
***I also make regular ketchup (with sugar instead of splenda) for my family.
***Really - "stirring often" is important. Burned ketchup stinks!!

ENJOY!
