So, they shrunk them to 13 ounces later. I bet that the new ones will only have 12 ounces in them. <br /><br />There's not much point in me updating the cost per bottle info because prices for the ingredients are different for everyone depending on where they live and where they shop, etc. The price is only approximate. I pay 44-cents for a can of tomato paste and about 20-cents per can of tomato sauce. Sometimes I get the sauce even cheaper when they're six for a dollar. If you buy name brands you'll pay quite a bit more though. I only buy store brands or whatever is cheapest.lindalowcarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594808847717258786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414613274624186412.post-68219747735160596432014-05-28T16:03:31.269-05:002014-05-28T16:03:31.269-05:00Hi Linda, I came to "discover" you when ...Hi Linda, I came to "discover" you when I joined Low Carb Friends. By way of having a small temper fit I decided to make my own reduced sugar ketchup. I tried your "Even Better Than Heinz" recipe and I really like it. It even freezes well. I live alone and try to make a double batch when I make it but it's necessary to freeze about half of it. The "temper fit"? When buying a bottle of the Heinz Reduced Sugar ketchup one day (about 2.48 for 13 oz.) I noticed their new wider, squattier bottle that can sit on it's cap for $2.99. I thought "well great, more ketchup for less money per oz. and a better bottle". Wrong! I didn't even look at the oz. on the new bottle. At home I looked at them and noticed both bottles - old and new - were 13 oz. I paid .50 more for a plastic bottle. I think part of my problem was I was annoyed with myself for not checking. On the store shelves, the old bottles are gone and the new ones are there for the higher price. So I decided I could learn to make my own ketchup. I also learned a good lesson in reading labels. When I first came across your ketchup recipe you added a note saying it cost about .97 a bottle to make. Can you update that cost to today's prices? I'll still think it's a great bargain!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568611383556114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414613274624186412.post-83540924870682416832014-05-23T12:25:57.310-05:002014-05-23T12:25:57.310-05:00Thanks for your nice comments, Ann.

I plan on cooking it next time (as you sugessted) to see how the consistency is. <br />Made your Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers last night. They were great and we will be making them again. Had more flavor that my usual recipe.<br />Keep up the great work! I've been using your recipes for several years. You're my Go To Girl for low carb recipes.
