Method
- Put all ingredients into large stockpot, having washed and chopped tomatoes into halves or quarters (no need to skin tomatoes). Boil uncovered for 3 — 3 1/2 hours. Texture will thicken and should change colour to a darker red.
- I use old gin bottles that have been sterilised in oven for 30 minutes at about 120°C.
- Mouli and funnel into bottles. Leave to cool and then put on screw tops. Do not need to put wax on top.
- One batch makes about 5 gin bottles of sauce and lasts up to 2 years.
- Enjoy on any savoury morsel or meal.
