Acidic tomato sauce
Asked on 30 Jul 2017 by frances therese
Lindsey always find tomato based sauces v acidic,Is adding sugar a good idea? Delia suggests using red ripe tomatoes, but not always easy to find, tomatoes can be red and ripe but still bitter, does Delia have any preference when it comes to canned tomatoes? Thanks Frances

Hello Therese,
Yes a little sugar can mellow the acidity. Cooked onion helps as onions are naturally sweet and sweet basil added during and again at the end of cooking can help too.
We tend to use Cirio tomatoes.
Kind regards
Lindsey
