It's true that one ounce of weight = 28 grams; however, a fluid ounce of water is more like 29.5 grams. The teaspoon amounts of onion and garlic powder are even more problematic, since those are (according to my understanding) dried (or freeze dried?) and ground, so a given volume of these materials is likely to be lighter than a volume of water. The only thing I could find that even hinted at a value was dried yeast.

So...you can see why I was very hesitant to put any faith in my 13% figure!

But I'm excited about the prospect of your ketchup taste-test. I'll look forward to seeing more! And, if you'd like, I'll track down another recipe I found that had a lot more ingredients...

Thanks as always.

BTW - Sigaba - good idea about Costco. I called them, and they'll be getting back some of Kerry's Revenge Sauce.
