Easy Tomato Sauce

Amish Paste, Grosse Lisse, Tommy Toes and Yellow Brandywine tomatoes.

 This tomato sauce is easy peasy and is like a tomato ketchup, not a pasta type of sauce. It's a great way of using small tomatoes that you don't want to skin for pickles etc and a few green/unripe tomatoes don't hurt the taste either.

Easy Tomato Sauce

 

Ingredients

1.5kg tomatoes, chopped

250 grams onions, chopped

190 grams sugar

1/2 cup vinegar

30 grams salt

1 teaspoon allspice

pinch of cayenne (optional)

 

Method

Places all ingredients in a saucepan.

Bring to the boil.

Reduce heat to a simmer and allow to cook for about 3 hours. Stirring regularly.

After the 3 hours you can seive the mixture and return the strained sauce to the heat to come to the boil for a few minutes.

I usually just puree it with a stab blender and bring back to the boil.

Pour sauce into warm sterilised bottles and seal immediately.

It is good to use straight away or to store in the pantry.

 

This amount makes about 2 litres of sauce.

 

Enjoy.
