    A fresh tomato sauce may seem more effort than opening a can but the taste cannot be beat.  You can always make a batch and freeze it too!

    When I make a batch of low carb tomato sauce I will store it in jars and keep it in the fridge for a week.  It then means I bake a few recipes that need tomato sauce but that's good meal planning!  Or a great pan of shakshuka for a weekend brunch!

    tomato sauce

    The best thing about a homemade low carb tomato sauce is that there are no hidden preservatives or sugars in it. When you make it yourself, you are in control of the ingredients. Add the herbs and flavourings of your choice, but this is a great low carb and sugar free tomato sauce to use as a base.
