Have you ever made a homemade spaghetti sauce and the acid taste in the tomato sauce was really strong? The same can be said for pizza sauce or any dish that requires tomato sauce. Here are some tips on how to rid your dish of the acid taste while leaving the pleasing taste of the tomato.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Butter 1 stick
  • 1 Can tomato sauce 28 oz
  • 1/4 Cup water
  • For a thick sauce, you can mix 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup water to form a paste and add to your sauce to thicken it up.

    Prepare the Sauce

  1. Step 1

    Fix your sauce as usual, bringing to a rapid boil, or use the above ingredients.

  2. Step 2

    Adding together the ingredients listed above, wait to add flour until sauce begins to boil. You can season as you wish. Do not add butter yet.

  3. Step 3

    Place your stick of butter into the sauce, after the sauce boils, and stir until butter is melted.

  4. Step 4

    Boil for four minutes and then simmer.

  5. Step 5

    Neutralized: The butter neutralizes the acidic taste in your sauce, making it scrumptious.

Tips & Warnings
  • Sauce will get very hot while boiling. Keep covered and out of the reach of children.
