In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste and water. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and salt. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the sugar.
Sprinkle in the onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground allspice. Mix well to incorporate all the spices evenly.
Place the saucepan over low to medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Let the ketchup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste the ketchup and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or vinegar if needed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the ketchup cool to room temperature.
Transfer the ketchup to a clean, airtight jar or container and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Serve with your favorite dishes and enjoy this garlic-free alternative to traditional ketchup!
