Bottled ketchup and barbecue sauce is convenient yes. BUT artificial coloring, flavors and high fructose corn syrup are not the healthiest to consume. Buying ketchup and barbecue sauce made with all natural ingredients and no high fructose corn syrup can cost you a pretty penny for a small bottle. If you or your family enjoys these sauces on a regular basis, making your own is worth it! It’s easy and not at all time consuming either.
