if you want it thick then keep boiling it to reduce some more. Not sure how long my tomato sauce takes but Plum sauce was boiled for 2 hours. Its nice and thick too.

My lot just made i boiled it for about 1/2 -3/4 hr after sugar ,spices etc were added to get it a little bit thicker, At the momentits not overly thick but not worried as it will thicken with sitting over winter. If you want it thicker do as #3 says.

If you make it too thick you may not get it back out of the bottle. Unless you are going to put the sauce into jars, I'd be careful about making it too thick.
My friend makes tomato sauce and hers is more of a gluggy pour and not too thick at all and it is perfect.
I presume you are making ketchup type sauce and not pasta sauce.

Yep, all bottled tastes pretty good, finally got my act together today and made tom relish and the tom sauce, relish is a bit spicy, supposed to add few chillis and I only had the chilli paste, so chucked in some of that but think slightly to much. Will be interesting what people think of it. As for the sauce. ran out of bottles and jars for the last 2!litres so put them into plastic bottles. Someone on here said that they freeze their sauce, and bring it out as they need it, so will try that, thanks
