Paprika, a Hungarian term for pepper, is a ground spice made from dried red peppers. Depending on the preparation method, it varies in flavor from sweet to spicy and even smoked. Hungarian and Spanish paprika differ significantly: Hungarian varieties are often sun-dried, while Spanish versions are typically smoked over oak logs.
Paprika is made by grinding dried red peppers from the Capsicum annuum family. These peppers can be sweet (like bell pepper) or spicy (like chili pepper). Different varieties of paprika use different types of peppers, as well as various parts of the plant.

Which Is Right For You?
For big proportions and mild needs: Spicy ketchup
Transfer to a clean jar. In our experience, the sauce stores well at the coldest part of the refrigerator (e.g., in the way back) for a good 2-3 months. And, of course, always dip into it with a clean spoon/chopsticks to preserve it. If there’s any foul smell or the sound of gas escaping when you crack it open, discard it. But we’re betting it doesn’t last past the 2-week mark!
