Note: This recipe appears in the South  Beach Diet Cookbook. I almost ran out of ketchup earlier this week when I was making my Sweet-and-Sour Pineapple Chicken. I saw this recipe in the cookbook and I wanted to try  it. I substituted regular vinegar for the malt vinegar and I couldn't tell the difference. I have just tasted the ketchup and it's absolutely delicious! I don't think I will eve but Hunt's, Heinz or any other store brand ketchup ever again. So Teresa Hienz can just shove it!
