WHAT TOMATO SHOULD I USE
\nYou can use sugar free tinned chopped tomatoes or a sugar free passata in it's place. The recipe also requires tomato paste to thicken the sauce and make it richer. Again, make sure you check for additives such as sugar in any tinned tomato products.

DOES HOMEMADE SUGAR FREE TOMATO SAUCE HAVE CARBS?
\nTomatoes do contain natural sugar so if you ate a lot of them you could be pushing your carb limit. Tomato sauce or ketchup is always going to be high in carbs because of this. Because this is a condiment and served on the side of foods, you would be hard pressed to consume a huge number of carbs. If you had 1 tablespoon or 1 serve of this delicious sauce, it contains less than 1 net carb, which is a lot less than the amount you would consume by using a store bought sugar laden brand.
\nHOW TO STORE YOUR SUGAR FREE TOMATO SAUCE
\nBecause this sauce is cooked off and vinegar is used, it helps your sauce/ketchup to last longer. It should remain fresh in an airtight jar in the fridge for about two weeks. The recipe also freezes really well, so make it in batches to defrost for another time.
