So, I neglected to cover the pot while the sauce was simmering, and ended up with a really thick almost-tomato-paste... oops! But it was still pretty tasty. Using cherry tomatoes gives the sauce a nice sweetness without using sugar. And if you happen to forget the lid, I stirred in a cup of tomato juice and all was saucy again. :) Thanks!

Very good. Easy too. Good way to use up those extra cherry tomatoes that I planted.

I made the sauce with a couple of extra ingredients. It tasted fantastic but...seeds. Personally, it didn't matter to my family. I may try straining the seed somehow, only for presentation and finicky eaters.

MIne ended up like a onion tomato chutney. It was not very good.

Freeze 'em for winter sauces.
