Heinz Tomato Sauce/Ketchup - secret recipe adaption

[squirrel]

For all you tomato sauce lovers, make your own tomato sauce at home, that tastes just like the one Heinz one.  I have tried hard with other sauces, but DH is addicted to the bottled stuff.. so I searched out a recipe that tastes exactly  the same and I have adapted for other addicts.  There could probably be healthier variations to this recipe, but have left as is for the hard core lovers of the bottle stuff  

Ingredients:

170 gr Tomato Paste
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 water
4 TBLsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder

Method:

Place all ingredients in the thermomix and blend on speed 4 for 20 secs.
Cook on 100 degrees for 10 mins, speed 1
Reduce temperature to 80 degrees and cook another 10 mins, speed 1
Leave to cool in thermomix with lid on

When cool, pour into jars/containers and refridgerate.
Makes about 1.5 cups.

Sounds good, how much would this make?

Dede... it makes about 1 & 1/2 cups.  Will update recipe

My kids love their tomato sauce, would be great to make it myself without all the preservatives.
They don't like my homemade tomato sauce and relish so this could be the way to go. Thanks for that.

THis would be great and have to try it when we run out.

How long would it keep for do you think?

I just brought a 4 liter bottle of sauce. But once that's close to finished I will give this a try.
Should last ok with vinegar in it. Probably a few weeks (3-6) at a guess.
