Got heaps of tomatoes ripening right now? This sauce is perfect for making when tomatoes are abundant. Use the sauce for pasta, lasagne or spreading on pizza. it can also be used in place of commercial tomato sauce.

This is the best tomato sauce recipe that I use, you can add also some chilli flakes if you want a bit of Hearst, I cook a lot longer to get all the juice, water from tomatoes and it stays lovely and thick then with no watery substance at top, I also make it with whole frozen tomatoes and it is just as tasty love it and so do all my family and friends. I also cut the sugar down to just over a kilo. 5 stars

Too much sugar!!!Great recipe great flavour but you only need a third or even less of the sugar that is stated. Will definitely make it again when I made it the first time I followed the advice from the reviews and put way less sugar in, it was still sweet but I would hate to think what it would have been like if I had followed the recipe exactly as it is.

Flavour better than shop bought sauce. But added only half a kg of sugar after reading comments was plenty sweet enough but I had very ripe tomatoes.

This recipe has way to much sugar in my opinion (I do not have a sweet tooth!). I reduced it to 400gms and thought it was perfect. Everybody that has tasted it has said the same. I increased the vinegar to 1.1litres and then bottled it so it would keep longer.Am thinking of trying green tomatoes since I have plenty end of season.

How long can u keep the sauce for? Do you need to refrigerate it?CHELSEA: Hi there, we would recommend refrigerating it (especially after opening). It should last 2-3 months if refrigerated.

i have just started to make pickled onions, tomato relish and sauce and still learning. how long a shelf life would this red tomato sauce last or do all the bottles made need to be kept in the fridge. I was looking at recipes for pasta sauce in other sites and found they needed a water bath or further special bottling. this recipe looks great, just like the other recipes on this site

Method
Wash and chop tomatoes and apples, skins included. Chop onions. Tie allspice and garlic in a muslin bag. Boil all ingredients together slowly for two hours, stirring frequently. When cool, discard muslin bag and put sauce through a sieve, or use a food processor. Bottle in warm, sterilised bottles when cool.
Refrigerate the sauce and use it within a week or freeze it for up to 3 months. Properly sterilised canned tomato sauce can be stored in the pantry for at least 1 year.
