Tomato sauce is lower in fat that cream sauce. Most people agree that less fat is healthier.
No, the genetically modified Flavr Savr tomato is not healthier than other tomatoes.
Tomato paste is more concentrated than tomato sauce, so I would just add a little water until it is of sauce-like consistency. Alison Matsen from Delaware
Yes, you can substitute tomato puree for tomato sauce in the recipe. Just be aware that tomato puree is thicker and more concentrated than tomato sauce, so you may need to adjust the consistency by adding a bit of water or broth.
Yes, tomato puree can be substituted for tomato sauce in a recipe, but the consistency and flavor may be slightly different. Tomato puree is thicker and more concentrated than tomato sauce, so you may need to adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe.
Yes
You can boil down tomato sauce on the stove. You can also blend crushed or whole tomatoes and boil down to 2/3s the sauce.
Two tablespoons of tomato paste can be substituted with approximately 1/2 cup of tomato sauce. This is because tomato paste is more concentrated than tomato sauce. If you're looking for a more precise substitution, you can mix 1 tablespoon of tomato paste with 3 tablespoons of water to achieve a similar consistency and flavor.
The difference between a fruit sauce and a fruit puree is that a fruit puree is fruit that has been pureed so you are left with the juice and pulp of the fruit. A fruit sauce is fruit with other ingredients used to make the sauce.
Depending on the acidity of the tomato sauce, or whether artificial preservatives have been added, tomato sauce can be left out at room temperature (68-72 degrees Fahrenheit) for 2-5 days. Home made tomato sauce is likely to have little to no artificial preservatives, but is preserved by the acidity of the tomatoes, the added salt, and various herbs added. Therefore, in my experience, homemade tomato sauce has not gone bad until the third night, assuming that the tomato sauce was made on the first morning. Store-bought tomato sauce may have ascorbic acid, vinegar and/or other preservatives added that allow the tomato sauce to be left out unopened for an undefined amount of time. When opened, the tomato sauce will not be affected for several days. Several of my friends never refrigerate their store-bought tomato sauce, because they use up the entire bottle within the week. However, if the tomato sauce has been excessively handled or contaminated, it may spoil withing 12 hours.
Do you mean the thick, smooth commercially-prepared bottled sauce from the supermarket? I've used it for various kinds of barbecue sauces, though I use ketchup rather than the plain tomato sauce. There could, though, be many other recipes available for tomato sauce. Otherwise, bottled tomato sauce and ketchup are fine just from the bottle on chips, burgers, pies and barbecued food; quick and easy - just don't put it on pasta!
No. Cream cheese is not margarine.
There are approximately 3.625 cups in 29 ounces of tomato sauce, since 1 cup is equal to 8 ounces. To find the number of cups, you can divide 29 by 8, which gives you 3.625. This means you have 3 cups and a little more than half a cup of tomato sauce.
