Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground clove (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, and water. Whisk until fully blended and smooth.
Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground clove (if using), smoked paprika (if using), and black pepper to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, whisking occasionally.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the ketchup simmer for 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking, and ensure the flavors combine perfectly.
Taste the ketchup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more honey for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or spices as desired.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the ketchup cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes.
Transfer the ketchup to a glass jar or airtight container. Once completely cool, seal the container tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Enjoy your honey-sweetened ketchup as a dip for fries, a spread for burgers, or in any recipe that calls for ketchup!
