In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste and water. Stir well to ensure there are no clumps and the mixture is smooth.
Add the apple cider vinegar and date paste to the saucepan, stirring until the date paste is fully dissolved.
Sprinkle in the onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, cinnamon, salt, cloves, allspice, and black pepper.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Allow the ketchup to simmer for about 5-10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Taste the ketchup and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or date paste for sweetness.
Once the desired consistency and flavor are achieved, remove the saucepan from heat and let the ketchup cool completely.
Transfer the cooled ketchup to a sealed container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
