Tips
This is a great sauce to make in the slow cooker. You could double up on the ingredients and put it on to cook for the day. You will come back to a reduced and thickened, intensely flavoured rich tomato sauce which you can pack into smaller containers to freeze for up to three months.
If you want a silky-smooth sauce then use a stick blender or liquidizer when the cooking is complete.
