Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.25 cups Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground allspice
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground clove
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the tomato paste and water. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Add the apple cider vinegar and honey (or maple syrup) to the pan. Stir thoroughly to mix the sweet and tangy components.
Sprinkle in the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and ground clove. Stir the mixture to evenly incorporate the spices.
Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer the ketchup for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the ketchup thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste the ketchup and adjust seasonings as needed—for example, adding more honey for sweetness or a splash of vinegar for extra tang.
Once the ketchup has cooled slightly, transfer it to an airtight container or jar. Let it cool completely at room temperature before storing.
Store the homemade ketchup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
