Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup (or date paste) over medium heat. Stir well to combine.
Add the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chopped rosemary to the saucepan. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Let it simmer uncovered for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the ketchup with an immersion blender or regular blender until smooth.
Allow the ketchup to cool completely before transferring it to a glass jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
