Time 30m

Yield about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ripe plum tomatoes, about ripe plum tomatoes, about 1/2 pound
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
2 tablespoons finely minced celery
2 1/2 cups fresh or canned chicken broth
3/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup dry white wine
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Peel the tomatoes, and cut away and discard the core. Cut each tomato crosswise in half, and remove the seeds. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes. There should be about 1 cup.
  • Heat the butter in a saucepan, and add the onion and garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the tomato cubes and celery. Cook about 2 minutes or until most of the tomato liquid has evaporated. Add the broth, and bring to a boil. Stir in the tomato paste, wine, salt and pepper, and let simmer about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the sauce into the container of an electric blender or food processor, and blend thoroughly. Return the sauce to a saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the thyme, and serve.

This sauce is so versatile! I've used it on custard pie, ice cream, and even pancakes. It's always a crowd-pleaser.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much water.

The sauce was a bit too runny for my liking, but the flavor was spot-on. Next time I'll try thickening it with some cornstarch.

I made this sauce exactly as the recipe said and it was way too sweet for my taste. I ended up adding some lemon juice to balance it out.

This recipe was easy to follow and the sauce turned out great. I used it on a store-bought custard pie and it was a hit!

I've never had tomato sauce on custard pie before, but I'm so glad I tried it! The flavors go together surprisingly well.

This tomato sauce is a perfect complement to the custard pie. It's tangy, sweet, and has just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be making this again!
