Rehydrate the tomato paste by placing it into a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup. Add water, and process with a stick blendor until the liquid-level comes up to 12 oz.
Place the above ingredients into a non-reactive sauce pan. Stir to combine. Bring the contents of the pan to a boil, cut the heat, and simmer until relatively thick.
