Tree tomato sauce is a sweet and spicy sauce made by simmering New Zealand-grown tree tomatoes with hot red pepper, ginger, and vinegar over low heat, without adding a sweetener. The fruit’s natural sweetness gives the sauce balance without any added sweetener.

Finely chop the onion, red pepper, and ginger.

3

Simmer over low heat

5 min

Sosu tarifte yazdığı gibi 20 dakika pişirdim ve tam istediğim koyulukta oldu, kavanoza doldurunca 2 haftadan fazla dayandı bile. Zencefili biraz fazla kaçırınca da hoş bir keskinlik kattı.

Ağaç domateslerini kabuklarını soymadan doğrudan pişirmeye başladım, sos içinde sert kabuk parçaları kaldı ve dokusu bayağı bozuldu. Kabukları önce haşlayıp soymayı asla atlamamak gerekiyormuş, bunu sonradan anladım.
