About

This starts off as a basic sauce which can be made with either fresh or canned tomatoes. You can refine or spice it to your own taste or for a specific purpose. You can also transform it into your own home-made tomato ketchup.

The quantity shown here is, I think, the minimum that you should make in one batch. It will keep in the fridge for at least 10 days.
