As You can see from the ingredients list, the main thing in this tomato sauce - tomatoes and peppers. Of course, You can come up with your ratio of vegetables, but I used to cook that way - 3:2 (i.e. 3 parts tomato and 2 parts bell pepper). With this balance of tomato all the same remains the tomato and turns into "about Lecho".))) And again. Of course, if desired, can be used in this kind of tomato and other vegetables and spices. But I fundamentally do not. So, the tomatoes cut into convenient pieces, removing the stalk and the "ugly" places. Peel and seed the pepper. Now and then, and more them in a meat grinder or use a food processor. Yaya trusted this troublesome business the ideal assistant to the blender. It turned out very fast!

Twisted tomatoes and peppers put on a slow fire. It is on a very slow fire and is cooking the tomato. After boiling, I leave the pan on the stove for 40 minutes. Not forgetting to stir, I "boiled" the tomato. It becomes the thick, richness. But there is an interesting caveat - do not overcook! The fact that digested tomato becomes very ugly color - dark... at the end of cooking I add some salt to the tomato. But not before the taste, which I like - you never know what I'll use, maybe, there will be extra salt. And finally, season it with a tomato paprika. Why? Yes, just to emphasize the taste of the pepper, to add color and flavor.)))

The finished tomato sauce I poured into sterilized jars and roll pre-boiled lids. Of course, the banks put up "ass."))) And hot wrap jars in a blanket, let it cool down slowly and comfortably. And you've got homemade tomato sauce with paprika. There are only jars to sign to winter, maneuvering between the shelves in the pantry, don't get confused!)))
