Sauce for winter
Description
Perfect for meat, poultry, and side dishes. "Kubansky" sauce is very easy to prepare and tastes similar to ketchup, though slightly milder. You can add it to soups, borscht, shchi, pizza, pasta, and stews. Serve with fried meat, cutlets, or fried fish. If you prefer a completely smooth sauce, press the tomatoes through a sieve. Be sure to taste the sauce and adjust the ingredients to your preference. The specified quantities yield one 750 ml jar and one 500 ml jar. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
