Sugar Free and Gluten Free
Makes 750ml
Ingredients
- 2kg ripe tomatoes
- 180g Perfect Sweet™ xylitol
- 250ml white vinegar
- 4 tsps chopped fresh garlic
- 4 tsps salt
- 4 whole cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Method
- Cut a shallow cross in the base of each tomato. Place tomatoes in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over to cover. Stand 2 minutes then drain. Peel skins from tomatoes. Dice tomatoes and place in a large heavy-based saucepan.
- Add xylitol, vinegar, garlic, salt, cloves, bay leaves and cayenne (optional). Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to very low and simmer, uncovered, without stirring, for about 4 hours or until mixture reaches a shiny pulp consistency.
- Push hot mixture quickly through a sieve into a large clean bowl or jug. Pour into hot sterilised bottles or jars. Seal immediately. Turn bottles or jars upside-down and stand for 2 minutes to sterilise lids. Then turn right way up to complete cooling.
Keep sauce refrigerated after opening and use within 6 weeks.
Tip
Cook on a very low heat and do not stir while it is cooking. Let the moisture cook out slowly. Use a simmer mat if you do not have electric hot plates so the heat will be distributed evenly. This will also prevent the sauce from burning.
