Here is one I have in my files; it has been many years since I made it, but I kept the recipe so it had to be good! LOL
Ketchup made with tomato paste
2 small cans (6 oz each) tomato paste
1/4 small sweet onion
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 tsp yellow mustard powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
pinch ground cloves
pinch ground ginger
pinch cayenne
black pepper to taste
Salt
Open the cans of tomato paste and set aside. Using the small holes of a box grater; grate the onion directly into a small bowl to catch all the juices (it'll be mushy) and reserve. Mix the water with the vinegar and reserve. Measure the brown sugar and reserve. Mix the remaining ingredients, except the salt, in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat a small, non-reactive pot (preferably non-stick) over medium high heat until hot about 4 to 5 minutes. Working quickly, add the onion and a pinch of salt and stir constantly with a wooden spoon, till a little of the juices reduce, about 20-30 seconds. Add the dry spices and cook till fragrant, 30 seconds more, stirring. Add the tomato paste all at once, stir well to blend; cook 1 minute. Increase heat to medium high. Add a pinch of salt, the water/vinegar mixture, and the sugars. Mix very well. Adjust seasonings. Remove from heat or bring to a simmer and reduce slightly, till desired thickness is achieved.Cool completely.
