Home made Tomato Sauce

This home made sauce is great to go with pasta or to spread on pizza or to cook with some minced or whatever you creativity allows you.

Ingredients:

  • roughly 1kg of fat juicy red ripe tomatoes, cut quarter
  • 1 large onion, lightly chopped
  • 6pcs of cloves
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 3 tablespoon of any type of berry jam
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 stick of cinnamon
  • 10 tablespoon raw sugar
  • a big pinch of rock salt
  • 1 teaspoon of mixed herbs
  • 2 cups of malt vinegar
  • 1 big handful of basil leaves
  • roughly 2 tablespoon of fresh mint leaves
Steps:
  1. Place all the ingredients except the basil and mint leaves in the pressure cooker (if you don't have one, use a normal pot). Set for it to cook in the pressure cooker for 15mins, or on the stove top for about an hour to soften all the ingredients and it is all juicy and nice.
  2. When it is done, turn of the heat and add in the basil and mint and give it a stir.
  3. Next, let it cool down slightly before blending them either in the blender or you can use the stick blender.
  4. Transfer them back into the pot or pressure cooker and cook with lid open till it thickens and no longer runny. The viscosity should be roughly the same as store bought tomato sauce.
