Hi, Cindy. Welcome. You must be a bit psychic because I’ve been looking at ketchup recipes and I’m going to post in the next few days about the HFCS-free ketchup I found at the supermarket. It’s Kosher for Passover, which makes sense since grains are forbidden at Passover and that eliminates corn. So buy it while you can, if you see it. It’s only around once a year, like Kosher for Passover coke which uses real sugar and is much in demand among gentiles for that reason.

The applesauce looks quick and easy — thanks for sharing it.

Just found this site looking for hfcs free ketchup recipes…my favorite applesauce recipe calls for apples, a knife, a heavy pot and a stove.

Core, peel and cut apples–I usually quarter
Put in a heavy sauce pan–cover with the lid
Cook on low, check after 20 min or so and mash up
take off the stove when it’s as chunky or smooth as you like it

I agree, those who choose to remain ignorant, whether about science, nutrition politics or whatnot, are distressing. That’s not to say there’s only one valid opinion about anything, but to hold an unshakable opinion without considering all sides to a story is intellectually lazy, in my view.

I think what galls me so much about these commercials is their use of guilt, with the character promoting HFCS making the one objecting feel like a fool for even raising the issue. I just feel in my bones that attitude is transferring to at least some who see the spots and I’ve recently seen companion print ads. Big bucks at work here.

Thanks for your comment and best wishes with your business in these tough times.
