Use the ripest tomatoes you might.
Added sugar will balance the natural acidity of the tomatoes, use more or less to taste.
Tabasco hot sauce is also to taste, depending on your desired level of spiciness.
Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until mixture is completely soupy, about 25 minutes.
Force the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, chinoise, or food mill.
Simple Tip!
If you like, save the solids left in the strainer.
Puree them with a little water and to add to recipes for a tomato-y boost.
Store covered and chilled.
Will last for about 1 week in the refrigerator.
