    Ingredients

    • 6 oz tomato paste double concentrated
    • ½ cup water

    Instructions

    • Add all of the ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for 20 minutes on medium-low heat, or until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Make sure to stir every 5 minutes or so to prevent burning.
    • Transfer the mixture to a jar and let cool to room temperature. For best results, refrigerate overnight so that the flavors can intensify. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and sometimes longer.
