I don't like commercial tomato sauce, it's too vinegar flavoured!
Use this where you'd use store bought tomato sauce.
Back off on the vinegar if you like, I think it's about correct but depends on the manufacturer.

Steps

4hrs

1

In a large stock pot drizzle a little Extra virgin olive oil and sweat the onions and the garlic
2

In a blender blend the Sage,Basil and Thyme until you have a fairly smooth paste.
3

Add all the ingredients to the stock pot and bring to the boil slowly while stirring
4

Simmer with a lid on for about 3-4 hours stirring occasionally
5

Whe simmering time has finished use a hand blender and blend to a consistency you desire
6

Decant into jars or beer bottles while the sauce is still quite warm(not hot!!!). Ensure bottle or jar is sterile and heated so the glass doesn't crack!!
7

Put a lid or cap on it while still warm, this should create a vacuum seal. No need to refrigerate until you open it.
