Ketchup - sweet

Sweet ketchup is a popular variant of classic tomato sauce with a higher sugar content or added sweeteners, giving it a more pronounced sweet flavour while retaining a mild tang. It is especially popular with children and works well as a dip for chips, chicken nuggets, hot dogs or pizza. In the kitchen, sweet ketchup can also be used as a base for BBQ sauces, meat glazes or as an ingredient in salad dressings. It has a thick consistency and a rich red colour. Compared to classic ketchup, it has a less acidic and gentler profile, making it well suited to dishes where a stronger sourness would be unwelcome.
