How to make simple tomato sauce

When you have so many tomatoes you don't know what to do??? MAKE SAUCES :)

Set your oven to Fan Bake at 200 degrees celsius

Make an X in the base of the tomato, not too deep

Arrange tomato's in a baking dish and bake for 30 mins or till the skins start to curl away

Skins will peel away easily when they have sweated enough

Peel and slice 1/2 a clove of garlic

Finely dice 2 onions

Put a little olive oil in your pan and add the onion & garlic, sauté them then add the tomato's. Bring to the boil then turn heat down to low

Add 2tsp of mixed spice and stir in

Remove seeds from capsicum, slice, then add to pan as well

Mix well then cover and let cook for 10mins

Peel and core pears, slice and add to pan. Pears become the sweetener in place of brown sugar :)

Cook for a further 10mins then use a stick mixer or a blender to make your sauce smooth.

Store in jars or a wide neck bottle :) add a label and a pretty gingham topper and tie with a ribbon as a gift for the host at your next BBQ :)

Sauce will keep for about 7 days in the refrigerator. This recipe generally makes 1.5lts. (Thanks Maureen 👍)

If you have any sauce left on the 7th day, brown some meat, cook some pasta, toss it altogether with the leftover sauce and you have a nice pasta meal!!! :) Enjoy
