Worried about your health from eating ready-made tomato sauce all the time? Wouldn't you like to make your own naturally cooked, fresh, and safe-to-eat tomato sauce at home?
Let's share a method for making tomato sauce that contains absolutely no chemical substances.
The ingredients you'll need are about 10 pounds of tomatoes and 6 tablespoons of lemon juice.
(1) First, boil some water. Once the water is boiling rapidly, use a knife to make an "X" shaped cut on the top of each tomato. Place the scored tomatoes into the boiling water for about 1 minute.
(2) After 1 minute, take the tomatoes out and place them on a plate to cool down. If you want to cool them quickly, place them in ice water to cool.
(3) Once the tomatoes have cooled, you can easily peel off the skin starting from the "X" cut. Then, slice the tomatoes thinly. Be sure to save the juice that comes out from the tomatoes when you cut them, as you'll need to use it too.
(4) Put the tomato pieces and juice you've obtained into a pot, heat it, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Once the time is up, you'll have tomato pulp.
(5) Boil water in another pot. To sterilize the empty glass bottles, place them in the boiling water for about 10 minutes. Also boil the bottle caps for about 10 minutes.
(6) After the time is up, remove them from the boiling water, then add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into each glass bottle. Add the tomato pulp into the glass bottles as well. Leave about half an inch of space at the top of the bottle for sealing the lid.
Finally, seal the bottle with its lid and store it in a cool, dark place.
Now you've got a delicious, nutritious tomato sauce that contains absolutely no preservatives or artificial colorings.
