Ingredients

6 ounces Tomato paste
2 tablespoons White vinegar
0.25 cup Water
2 tablespoons Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Onion powder
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
0.5 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the tomato paste, white vinegar, and water. Whisk until smooth.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning to your liking—add more cayenne for extra heat or a pinch more sugar for sweetness.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often. This will help meld the flavors together.

Allow the ketchup to cool to room temperature before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
