Tomato Sauce.....

I make my own yummy tomato sauce from a generations old proven recipe.But....the last two batches I have made (consistency fine when bottled) have gone runny after a few weeks.

Why is this happening?Is it to do with the tomatoes?Is it because they are frozen?I boil out the liquid and as said, the consistency is fine when I make it and bottle it...it is after a few weeks.....

i use frozen as well, no problems in my 3 batches, i think hasnt been boiled long enough. Just from experiences. good luck

I boil for hours....just to get rid of the excess moisture.As said, consistency is fine initially....goes runny further down the track.Still tastes fine.....

I put it through a Mouli....takes the seeds out as some of my family can't have the seeds.....
Jut one of those things I guess.....a conundrum as they say

on the other side, i "once" made tomato sauce, but I cooked it too long, and it came out sooo thick like relish LOL. was still nice though.
