Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Tomato paste
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine tomato paste and water. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
Add white vinegar, brown sugar, and honey to the saucepan. Stir to combine evenly.
Sprinkle in the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground allspice, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix thoroughly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring frequently.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid, leaving a slight gap for ventilation.
Allow the mixture to cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the catsup and adjust seasoning (salt, sugar, or spice level) as needed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the catsup to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Blend the mixture using an immersion blender or regular blender to achieve a smooth consistency, if desired.
Transfer the catsup to clean, airtight jars or bottles. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
