Home-Made Tomato Sauce For Dummies
If you want a little zing to this sauce, add a good pinch or two of dried, crushed chillies. If you are cooking this on the stove, you might want to skin the tomatoes first. This step is unnecessary in the Cook Expert as it will mulch the skins up completely.

- 1 tsp each ground cloves, black pepper, ground ginger, (or 2 teaspoons of fresh grated ginger)
- 2 tsp of allspice

- 6 gms salt
- 120 gms apple cider vinegar
