In a small saucepan, combine the tomato paste, white vinegar, and molasses over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
In a blender or food processor, add the raisins and water. Blend until smooth to create a raisin paste. If it’s too thick, add a few more teaspoons of water.
Add the raisin paste to the saucepan with the tomato mixture, stirring thoroughly to incorporate.
Mix in the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, turmeric, yellow mustard, and soy sauce.
Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes. This will help the flavors meld together while slightly thickening the sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary. You can add more vinegar for tanginess or molasses for additional sweetness.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool completely.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight jar or container and store in the refrigerator. The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks.
