Ingredients
  • 1kg very ripe tomatoes
  • 2 large cooking apples
  • 180g Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 180g rapadura sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 - 4 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 tsp salt (can use less)
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
Method
  1. Cut tomatoes and apples (don't peel) into quarters and place into Thermomix bowl.
  2. Add vinegar. Cook for 45 minutes/100/speed 2. This helps keep the colour of the sauce lovely and red.
  3. Let cool for ½ an hour or so and then blend on speed 8 to 9 until smooth.
  4. Add sugar, tomato paste and spices and cook a further 45 minutes/100/speed 2. Place basket on top to prevent it spitting out all over your bench and walls!
  5. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
  6. Place into warmed bottles and cap. Tip upside down for ten minutes. Turn up the right way and you'll find the bottles will seal.
Notes
If I have any left over bought tomato sauce, I add that to the bowl rather than waste it. In fact, if you're introducing a fussy family member to home made tomato sauce, this is a good way to do it. Just reduce the amount of bought sauce you use each time you make it.
