Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and water. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and add the salt, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Stir well to ensure all the spices are evenly incorporated into the mixture.
Allow the catsup to simmer on low heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Taste the sauce and adjust the spices or sweetness as needed to suit your preference.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors are well blended, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Transfer the spicy catsup to a clean, airtight container or glass jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a dip, condiment, or topping with your favorite dishes. Enjoy your homemade spicy catsup!
