Yes I did think that Ana smile but not sure how it would affect the taste.
I guess I won't know until I try

In the scheme of things half a teaspoon of sugar doesn't really matter anyway. It's only about 4 grams, if that.
If you divide it by the number of servings of sauce, it's even less significant. Think of it as seasoning. I think a little added sugar brings out the natural flavour of the tomatoes.
Healthy eating is all very well but food has to taste nice too.

Sorry to sound thick, but couldn't you just leave out the sugar...? confused

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