Time 10h5m

Yield 4 to 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds Roma tomatoes, quartered (10 to 12 tomatoes)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, plus more if needed
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 medium red onion, quartered
One 4-inch cinnamon stick
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 star anise pod
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place the tomatoes, sugar, corn syrup, vinegar, allspice, peppercorns, garlic, onions, cinnamon stick, ginger, star anise and a pinch salt in a stockpot set over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a light simmer. Use a potato masher or wooden spoon to mash down and break up the tomatoes as the mixture heats up. Cover and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Uncover and cook to evaporate and thicken the sauce while stirring occasionally, 45 minutes more. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick and star anise pod.
  • Using an immersion blender or a stand blender, blend until smooth. Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate until cool, overnight. Taste and, if needed, add 1/2 teaspoon vinegar at a time to balance the sweetness.
