HEALTHY HOMEMADE CROCK POT KETCHUP/BBQ SAUCE (NO PROCESSED WHITE SUGAR)

 

1 (28 oz) can organic tomato puree (I try to by Eden brand for canned - it is BPA free) 

2 small cans organic tomato paste 
1 small onion, chopped 
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (use good quality such as Braggs)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

Place all ingredients into medium sized crock pot. Stir well. Cover and turn on high for 2 - 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and puree with an immersion blender, or use a food processor to blend until smooth. Cook in crock pot for another ½ hour or so, until thick in consistency. 
Cool and transfer to storage container, leaving about 1 - 1 ½ cups in the crock pot.
