Ketchup. Or Catsup.

I ran out of ketchup, and I didn't feel like driving to town, so I found some tomato paste in the pantry and made some.

Ingredients

One 6 ounce can of tomato paste
Two to three tablespoons of vinegar
Two to three tablespoons of brown sugar
One teaspoon onion powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
Salt to taste
Water

Put the tomato paste in a small saucepan over low heat, and add wet and dry ingredients in increments, tasting after each addition til you like it. Add enough water to make it the consistency you prefer, remove from heat, and store in the refrigerator when cool. You can use regular paprika, but the smoked paprika makes this taste much better than ordinary ketchup. Even better than catsup.
