Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the tomato paste and water. Whisk together until smooth.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar and honey.
Add the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Stir well to ensure all the spices are evenly incorporated into the mixture.
Bring the ketchup to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, and let it cook for 8-10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Transfer the ketchup to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve as a dipping sauce, spread, or condiment, and enjoy the bold Tex-Mex flavors!
