Chop the onions in half and remove the skins, then dice them coarsely.

Heat a high-walled frying pan over medium to high heat.

Add the chopped onions to the pan and season with salt and black pepper, tossing them in the pan.

Chop assorted tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a bowl.

Once the onions are caramelized, add spices (cinnamon, cloves, all spice) to the pan and toast for a couple of minutes.

Add about 1 tablespoon of honey to the pan and let it caramelize with the onions for a minute.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato paste and roast it off for a couple of minutes before adding other ingredients.

Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the pan and reduce it down.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and stir well, seasoning them again.

Pour in the tomato Pata and mix thoroughly.

Cook the mixture for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes and adding a splash of water if it gets too thick.

After about 20 minutes, taste the sauce and adjust with more honey or seasoning if needed.

Use a hand masher to mash everything up quickly.

Take another saucepan and place a sieve over it, using a ladle to pass the sauce through the sieve for a silky smooth ketchup.

Reduce the ketchup to your desired consistency, aiming for the thickness of classic ketchup.

Taste one last time to ensure it meets your satisfaction.
