Tomato Sauce for snags 'n stuff


Once you try this recipe you will never bother with store bought sauce again. Its pretty straight forward - throw it all in a pot, cook, wizz and bottle. I make it around this time most years, I keep aside sauce bottles during the year so i when its time i am ready to go. Usually I half the quantities as this seems to make enough to keep us supplied for the year. Thanks once again to Edmonds Sure to Rise Cookery Book.
Tomato Sauce
3.6 Tomatoes
1 litre Vinegar
125gms Salt
1kg Sugar
1 tsp pepper corns, 1tsp Whole Allspice, 25g Cloves in a muslin bag ( i make one by cutting a pice of muslin, place spices in the middle and bundle up with a piece of string that i then tie to the handle of the pot)
1kg Apples
6 Large Onions
1tsp of Cayenne Pepper (if a hot sauce is desired I omit this for ours)
Cut tomatoes, apples and onions. put all ingredients into a heavy based large pot. Boil for 3 hours. Strain through a colander (i just wizz is up with the bar mix) and bottle in sterilized bottles ( place them in the oven 150 for 15mins should be fine).
