Nanna-Rific Tomato Sauce
(Like Ketchup - but Australian!)
- 10 kilos of ripe tomatoes- chopped roughly
- 2.5 kilos of granny smiths - cored and peeled and chopped roughly
- 30g of ground ginger
- 30g of whole cloves*
- 30g of whole allspice*
- 1 tsp of mace
- 30g cayenne pepper
- 1 litre white vinegar
- 1.5 kg sugar
- 8 tablespoons of salt
- 2kg chopped onions
* bundle these up in some muslin or calico with string to keep closed and pop in - you need to take it out once cooking time is up, though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What to do:
Put all ingredients into a very large pan. Boil for 3.5 to 4 hours. Blend or sieve to make for a smoother consistency. Bottle in sterilised jars. Make adorable labels with smiling tomatoes on them. Give to people for Christmas! Bravo!
(If you like - add a few cloves of garlic, cumin seeds and some chilli for a bit more gusto!)
Let me know how you go - if you make some too!

love your blog! can i suggest that for blending soup or sauce you use a hand-held stick blender rather than a food processor or bench-top blender. it is so much easier. i use mine for soup, sauce, fudge, soap making (not the same one though) and smoothies. excellent investment!
kind regards,
kate
I made this! It turned out really well. I halved the recipe and took on Kate's suggestion and used my bamix to blend it. I documented it in instagram pics and put it on my blog :)
