Red wine vinegar!

 

Red wine vinegar adds a pleasingly tangy flavor to tomato sauces. It is, after all, sour wine! You need to add just a bit of vinegar to liven up the sauce without making the entire batch sour. Think of it as squeezing a slice of lemon into a glass of water to brighten the taste.

This tomato sauce keeps in the fridge for about a week and can be frozen. I love making a huge batch and then freezing the contents in small containers. I simple defrost while I cook some pasta and dinner is done!

Tip: No fresh tomatoes, no problem! Simply substitute four 28 ounce cans of tomatoes. I prefer tomatoes with their skin on that are packed in cans that are not lined with BPA.

    I made it last week. I needed to add extra of salt, pepper and oregano, so asked myself if I had to use 16 tomatoes or 16 cups of tomatoes as the recipe suggests (which were equivalent to 24 tomatoes). Nevertheless, after adjusting the flavor with the condiments, the sauce turned out great. Thanks for the recipe. I never had tought about adding vinegar to a tomato sauce, but loved the result

    Holy crap… best sauce I’ve ever had! My pop pop would have been so proud 🙂 my mom wouldnt hush up about how good it was. My store didnt have romas, so I used half tomatoes on the vine and half big jerseys. Next time I’ll find a store that has romas, but jeez laweez, this is soooooo good.
