Not Ketchup Blueberry and White Pepper

Blueberry Not Ketchup

My fellow food blogger Erika Kerekes of In Erika’s Kitchen has taken a huge leap and opened her own line of gourmet sauces called Not Ketchup.  Her wonderful Not Ketchup sauces come in three distinct flavors—Cherry Chipotle, Smoky Date and Blueberry White Pepper.  Right now they are available in a number of specialty stores in Los Angeles and if you’re not lucky enough to live in LA, no problem you can order them online.

And let me tell you the world has embraced Not Ketchup with a vengeance. Kelly from Tasting Page has a multitude of yummy recipes in this post.

Greg at Sippity Sup creates a mouth-watering stuffed turkey breast with Cherry Chipotle Not Ketchup

While over at She Paused for Thought, Cathy is a blueberry white pepper lover like myself. She adds it to her yogurt for a tangy parfait as well as dips roasted shrimp into the Not Ketchup.

Dorothy at Shockingly Delicious  has a recipe that includes her all time favorite veggie kale and combines it with cherry chipotle Not Ketchup for a salad that I want to dive into.

For me, the first time I tasted the blueberry white pepper I imagined it being served with a lemon ricotta tart.  And let me tell you the combo works, blueberry Not Ketchup brings out the lemon of the tart.  So if you’re looking for an alternative to the savory recipes above, try this one.  I did and my dinner guests devoured the entire tart along with half a bottle of Not Ketchup.
