Really tasty. DH liked it. Toddler loves it. I'm liking it a lot more than the canned tomato sauce I'm feeling allergic to (mold allergy, yes mold is in canned tomatoes). Like the recipe poster, I found I had to add more spice than with tomato sauce but I didnt have to add any sugar! Thats a big bonus. Maybe my carrots were big or this is not really red sauce with the small beet added. I cooked a second beet and through in the red juice and discarded the actual beet as I needed additional liquid anyway. It was still a dark orange after. Anyway the colour doesnt matter so much when it tastes really good and is not allergenic. We use a lot of sauce as DH likes sauces with rice dishes and we dont do dairy (yogurt) so I think I will be making this many times instead of using canned tomato sauce anymore!

This recipe is excelent! I make pizza sauce with this as well as use it as a plain tomato sauce. I also use it as a base for homemade ketchup- an exceptional substitute which helps me eat normal food with a citrus allergy!

I tried this recipe and it turned out very well and couldn't be simpler. It is not easy to stay on a tomato free or nightshade free diet and still make things that are tasty but this substitute works really well. Thanks so much for posting.
