Nici’s Amazing Tomato Sauce
Hot chips and homemade tomato sauce. Does it get any better? This rich tomato sauce is absolutely fabulous and I make a batch every year, some for my pantry, some for gifts.
Makes about 2 litres 2kg fresh tomatoes, chopped roughly 400g can crushed tomatoes 2 large apples, chopped roughly 2 large onions, chopped roughly 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup white or raw sugar 1 cup malt vinegar 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1 cup red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon ground all spice ½ teaspoon ground cloves
Bring all the ingredients to the boil in a large pot and simmer it vigorously for about 2 hours until it is completely pulpy and it ought to have thickened a bit by then too.
In batches, put it through a blender until smooth. Try not to over blend as it will lighten the colour to an orange hue.
Sterilise bottles or jars by heating in an oven set at 100 C for 15 minutes.
Pour hot sauce into hot bottles and jars and seal with lids. Wipe clean and cool.
