Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste and water. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.

Step 2

Stir in the distilled white vinegar, granulated sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, ground allspice, ground cloves, and salt.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to ensure no sticking.

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the chili sauce simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent scorching and to help the sauce thicken.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add a pinch more sugar for sweetness or chili powder for extra spice.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Transfer the chili sauce to an airtight glass jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.
