Ingredients
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 1/4 cup White vinegar
- 1/4 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste, white vinegar, and water. Whisk until smooth.
Step 2
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ground allspice, ground cloves, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to thoroughly incorporate all the spices.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes. The ketchup should slightly thicken and develop a deeper flavor as it cooks.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the ketchup cool to room temperature.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference, adding a bit more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tanginess, or spices for a stronger flavor.
