Paleo Ketchup Perfected!

I got this from Ryan Wilder's Not in Moderation Blog who claims to have "nailed it", but I wasn't quite convinced so I came up with my own version.

Paleo Ketchup

Ingredients

12 oz tomato paste

1.5 cups water

4 Tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
the juice of 1/2 orange (about 4 Tbsp)

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a small sauce pan.  Bring to a simmer on medium-low heat and then simmer for several minutes on low heat, stirring frequently, to let the flavors meld.

Pour into a glass jar and refrigerate.

It's that easy!!

Notes

Be generous with your spices!!  No need to measure carefully and scrape the excess off here.  If you like more flavor, load it up!  If you like your ketchup toned down, shake the excess off.

Dip and enjoy!
