Making your own tomato sauce is natural with no added preservatives or colours. It is so healthy and the flavour is phenomenal. It is best to buy tomatoes when they are at their peak in season. They are much cheaper to buy, easier to find and most important of all more flavourful. There is no comparison to commercially store bought tomato sauce. It is such a versatile product which can be used in your everyday home cooking and the flavours of your food will be at the highest of standards.

 

Sauce is so easy to make and the best thing about it is it can be stored in your shed or cellar for up to 3 years or even longer. But I will assure you it will be gone before you know.

 

My family makes their own homemade tomato sauce once a year, in large quantities of up to 400 beer bottles; outside on the lawn under the shade of their beautiful trees. They are equipped with all the basic equipment to effortlessly make their sauce. Apparatus such as an electric stainless steel sauce machine fitted on its own stand, a bottle topper and two 44 gallon drums are the main pieces of equipment used. The entire family gets involved ranging from 2 up to 85 years of age, each person assigning themselves to a particular job. The complete process runs as smooth as an assembly line glides along with the guidance of experienced family members.
