Onion/Garlic-Free Ketchup I

I'm going to call this recipe the first attempt, because I think it still needs tweaking. Admittedly, this does not taste like you squeezed it out of a bottle of Heinz, BUT, it looks like ketchup, smells like ketchup, and works well in recipes that call for ketchup.

On fries? It's okay, but just not quite there yet. If you try it and come up with improvements, feel free to put them in the comments!
