Open the bottle and squeeze the desired amount onto your food. It is ready to use straight from the container. For recipes, it can be incorporated into sauces, glazes, or used as a base for barbecue sauces. It works well in baked beans, meatloaf, or as a binder in certain casseroles. Its versatility means it can be added to dishes during cooking or served as a condiment at the table. Stirring before use is sometimes recommended for optimal consistency.
How it differs from similar foods
The primary difference is the absence of added sugars found in conventional ketchup. This results in a less sweet flavor profile, with the tanginess of the tomatoes and vinegar being more prominent. The texture may also vary slightly depending on the specific sugar substitute used, if any.

How to keep the rest

It can typically be stored for several weeks after opening, but always check for any signs of spoilage.
