3. After adding the rock sugar, marinate for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn on the fire and cook. The fire should not be too strong. After the pot is boiled, stir it back and forth with chopsticks to prevent the tomatoes in the pot from sticking to the pot. When the tomato puree in the pot is boiled to a thick paste, squeeze the lemon juice from the fresh lemon and add it to the pot. Boil for another 2 to 3 minutes and then turn off the heat.

4. After turning off the heat, let the cooked tomato sauce cool down naturally, then take it out and put it into a clean glass bottle, seal it and store it directly in the refrigerator. You can take it out and eat it whenever you want.

Tips

After adding lemon juice, the tomato sauce not only has a light lemon fragrance, but also prolongs its shelf life. In addition, you should also pay special attention when selecting tomatoes for making tomato sauce. You must choose those tomatoes that are naturally ripe and fully ripe, so that the tomato sauce will taste good. If you choose tomatoes that are ripened with drugs to make tomato sauce, the taste will be sour and astringent after it is made, which is not delicious at all.
