Why roma tomatoes?
Eden, Roma are sweeter and more acidic and known for a lower water content – Which makes them perfect for tomato sauce.
This sauce tastes great, i wish i had de-seeded the Tomatos, got a few seed stuck in the sauce bottle but a quick shake and it’s clear again. This wouldn’t effect the flavour would it?
Hi Rebecca – no I wouldn’t think so. 🙂
Do you know how long this will keep in the fridge, and if it can be frozen ok?
Hi Martin, it keeps in the fridge for well over a month. I haven’t tested it any longer than this as mine is gone within this time! I have heard of people freezing it successfully but I haven’t yet tried.
Thanks so much for the recipe, we have a 3 year old who needs sauce on EVERYTHING so we will give this a shot!! How long do you think this would keep for?
Hi Naomi, I hope your 3 year old loves it! it keeps in the fridge for well over a month. I haven’t tested it any longer than this as mine is gone within this time!
I made it with standard tomatoes and found it tasting a big sweet. Also the consistency is not smooth like bought tomato sauce.
Hi Amy, unfortunately the sweetness in tomatoes can vary quite considerably from one to another. It sounds like yours must have been very sweet. The consistency that people like can also vary, so I’d suggest you ‘blitz’ it for a bit. Say approx. 30 sec/speed 9. I hope this helps. 🙂
Very nice – family approved! I did blend the sauce for a minute on speed 9 because I like a smooth tomato sauce.
Great to hear Lucinda and it would be a nice smooth tomato sauce as well.
NOTE: Always consult your thermomix manual when pureeing/blending hot foods.
