This is an unusual spaghetti sauce. It’s not as sweet as most commercially bought sauces. Sweet and sour spaghetti sauce makes a big batch that can be frozen until needed.
INGREDIENTS
3 kg tomatoes sliced in large chunks
1 large Spanish onion
1 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
2 diced garlic cloves
5 bay leaves
bunch of roughly chopped fresh basil (to taste)
thyme leaves (to taste)
1 roughly chopped chipotle pepper
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 cups chopped mushrooms
1 tbsp butter
DIRECTIONS
Saute mushrooms in butter until cooked.
Add to the rest of the ingredients in a large pot.
Bring to a boil on medium high and simmer until thickened to desired consistency.
Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Note: If you prefer a sweeter sauce the sugar can be increased to taste.
