Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Tomato paste (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste, water, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until smooth.
Add the maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper (if using). Mix well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook the ketchup for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a little more maple syrup if you'd like it sweeter or more vinegar for a tangier flavor.
Once cooked, let the ketchup cool completely before transferring it to a clean, airtight jar or container.
Refrigerate and use within 2 weeks. Stir before each use if separation occurs.
