Tomato Sauce (easy sauce)
- Rub a little oil or margarine into scratches or base of pan to prevent sauce from catching.
- Weigh out 9—10 kg. Of tomatoes, slicing through a few to make the juice in for the pan. Also add a little water, approx. ¾ cup.
- Peel and cut through roughly 3 kg. Of onions. Do not exceed this amount of onions.
- Add 2/3 cup of cooking salt.
- 1 tbs. Garlic and 1 tbs. Of ground ginger mixed with water in order to make a thin paste.
- Put all of these ingredients on the stove and boil for about 3 hours or more (this will reduce involvement).
- The tomatoes will make their own juice and as this occurs push the onions down into the juices.
- Put all of this through the strainer.
- When completed return to saucepan return to boil and add 1 bottle of ezi sauce (available at most supermarkets) and 2 kg. of sugar.
- Stir until sugar dissolves and allow to boil (simmer) for 1½ hours.
- Take off heat.
- Mix 3 tbs. Dry mustard, 3 tbs. curry powder and 3 tbs. of turmeric with a little water to make a thin paste. Then add this to the sauce, stirring while doing so to prevent lumps.
- Bring back to the boil for 3—5 minutes, after which sauce is ready to be bottled.
