In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste, malt vinegar, date paste, molasses, dark brown sugar, tamarind paste, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, ground cayenne pepper, salt, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and it begins to simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering sauce and stir well. Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the sauce to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend it until smooth.
Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, pour it into sterilized jars or bottles while still warm.
Seal the containers tightly, allow them to cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
