4. If desired, at this stage you can add a few drops of red food coloring to make the sauce more vibrant. Strain the resulting sauce through a sieve. Do not discard the pulp! It can serve as an excellent addition to the sauce. Skim off as much foam as possible from the syrup separated from the pulp. The less foam remains, the lighter the sauce will be.
