I have seen many recipes that have been written by someone in the US that contain 'a can of tomato sauce'. Over here in the UK, tomato sauce would either mean tomato ketchup, or possible those pre-prepared pasta sauces you get in jars, niether of which seemed to make sense in the recipes I was reading. So I did a little digging, and found on Wikipedia;
Many thanks.
Now, that does make sense, and getting hold of tomato puree is easy enough, but can anyone tell me what spices are added to the cans, and what their usual size is, so I can substitute a home made version of this ingredient in recipes?n most of the U.S., "tomato sauce" refers to a tomato puree with salt and small amounts of spices sold in cans. This product is considered incomplete and not normally used as it is. Instead, it is used as a base for almost any food which needs a lot of tomato flavour,
Many thanks.
