I like my sauce a bit thicker & sweeter so I also add 4 spoonful’s of Tomato Purée and 1 level spoonful of brown sugar.
I use exactly the same Cirio sauce as you do.
I also put the sauce on a low simmer for about 10mins before allowing to cool for a few hours before using.
I like the sound of that Alistair, I’ll try it! The Cirio brand stuff is good quality. Thanks for taking time to leave a review!
