I am making a tomato sauce w/o a recipe. I peeled garden-grown tomatoes, sliced them and put them into a pot of boiling water with two large onions, chopped, and roasted garlic from a jar, about 2T. I also added a small piece of green pepper, chopped and a generous swipe of salt, as well as, I know realize, WAY too much black pepper. Maybe a Tablespoon. I have been cooking the sauce for 3 hrs. and the house sure smells good but when I tasted the sauce-Yikes!! I know what to do when a sauce is too salty, put in some sliced raw potatoes and cook for a while. This is one problem that has me stumped. I am using a stainless steel pot, if that matters and I already removed half the liquid by straining. I replaced it with clear water but its stil really peppery. Can anyone help?
