Homemade Tomato Sauce
Recipes » Marinades and Sauces » Sauce
Sales of canned tomatoes and tomatoe paste indicate a lot of people make their own spaghetti sauce. With a homemade sauce, you can avoid some of the additives that commercial sauces contain and cut sodium content, too if desired.
"This is basically what I do with my sauce, except I add a lot more seasoning. Personal preferences, really. I use lite salt or Nu Salt, 2-3 stevia packets to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. As for seasoning, I use generous amounts of basil, oregano, garlic, smaller amounts of thyme and marjoram. " - apostolicmomYield: 5 Ready in 1 days, 21 hours

Notes
I wanted a tomato sauce without the additives and salt in the commercial ones so I gave this one a try on my cabbage rolls. Turned out great. I'll be using it from now on when I need a tomatoe sauce.
