Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the tomato paste, white vinegar, and water. Stir until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool completely.
Transfer the chili sauce substitute to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Use as a condiment, dipping sauce, or ingredient in recipes where chili sauce is called for.
