A "reverse engineered version of Heinz Chili Sauce"
Ingredients
  • 1 (6 ounce) can quality tomato paste
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup light corn syrup (Karo)
  • ½ cup distilled white vinegar (Heinz)
  • 1 tablespoon minced onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon unseasoned sweet chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon plain salt
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
  • ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
  1. Whisk all ingredients together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Once it starts to simmer, you will need to turn the heat to very low. Let it simmer a good 20 minutes at least, until it thickens to desired consistency and flavors meld together. Taste for seasoning balance. Season to taste with a pinch of salt salt or more if necessary, flavor should be a balance between savory, salty, sweet and sour. (I thought I was quite good the way it was)
  2. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  3. Refrigerate unused portion in sealed squeeze bottle or jar.
