Summer Peach-Tomato Sauce

 

Summer Peach-Tomato Sauce

No Added Salt • No Added Oil

Ingredients

• 5 tomatoes, cut into chunks
• 3 ripe peaches, cut into chunks
• 3 cloves garlic
• No-salt vegetable broth, as needed
• ½ teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon fresh basil
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• Tomato paste, only if needed for thickening

Directions

1. Add the tomatoes, peaches, and garlic to a saucepan.
2. Simmer until the tomatoes and peaches soften and release their juices.
3. Add the basil and black pepper.
4. Blend until smooth.
5. If the sauce is too thick, add a little vegetable broth until it reaches the desired consistency.
6. If it's too thin, stir in a little tomato paste and simmer briefly to thicken.

Why the peach works: It naturally rounds out the tomatoes' acidity, so there's no need to add sugar.
