Wrinkly tomato sauce in a dish with serving spoon

I love you from my head tomatoes!

Tomatoes can do no wrong! But sometimes life gets in the way and we realise some of our tomatoes are getting a bit parched and are no longer considered “salad-friendly”. 

What better than transform your going off tommies into a sugar-free tomato sauce to accompany your meals! Talk about stretching your tomatoes.
