Homemade Tomato Sauce

Steps

• 
  
  

  1. Let’s start making tomato sauce. First, wash tomatoes, cut them into slices and transfer them to a deep pan.

  2. Wash the apples, remove the core, cut into thin slices and add to the tomatoes.

  3. Put a pan with ingredients on a high fire. Cover the pan with a lid, bring the tomatoes with apples to a boil. Then open the lid so that moisture from the pan evaporates faster, and reduce the power of the cooker to a minimum. Stir periodically and simmer tomatoes with apples until soft for 20-25 minutes. Then add spices so that the spaghetti sauce becomes fragrant.

  4. Stir and continue to simmer vegetables with apples for another 10 minutes. During this time, the spices will open and give the sauce aroma. Then grate the tomatoes with apples through the sieve, trying to leave as dry as possible.

  6. To make canning tomato sauce moderately spicy, let’s add garlic cloves passed through the press.

  7. Stir constantly and continue to cook the tomato sauce on a low heat for another 15 minutes so that the excess moisture evaporates and the sauce thickens. Next, break the sauce with a hand blender to get the most smooth and homogeneous consistency.

  8. Add vinegar to the canning spaghetti sauce. Return the pan on the fire, continue to cook the sauce for another 2 minutes. Transfer the finished sauce into sterilized glass jars. Tightly close the jars with lids. Turn the jars with preservation upside down, wrap them with a blanket and leave them until they cool completely. Ready-made tomato sauce, the recipe of which I recommend you to repeat, will be stored in a dry cool place.
