Tomato sauce recipe please.
I have looked on line but they all seem to have at least half a teaspoon of sugar added.

Maybe use brown sugar ? Slightly healthier ?

I never add sugar but do put a couple of strips of lemon peel in. Let the sauce simmer for a bit to reduce down then remove the peel. Italian granny's tip when making a tomato based sauce for pasta or meat dishes.

Oh come on, albertina,! sugar is sugar whether brown, agave, pomegranate molasses, or coconut...
I add about 4 tsp sugar to 8 kg tomatoes when making sauce for winter. It takes the edge off the acidity.
But - nina, leave if off completely if you prefer, the sauce is just a bit more sour.

Like to try the beetroot sauce, can get ketchup that's low salt and sugar or has been said leave out the sugar
