What's up lovely cooks! 🌟 Every time I make a batch of homemade tomato sauce, it ends up tasting super sour. 🍅😖 I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Does anyone have any tips on how to mellow out the flavor? I'm all for a little culinary advice. Thank you! 🙏✨
 
There are a couple things that might be causing the sourness! 😬 First, try simmering your sauce for a longer time ..That helps mellow out the acidity of the tomatoes. Also, a pinch of sugar or a splash of cream can help balance the flavor too 😊

I think one common reason for homemade tomato sauce tasting sour is using tomatoes that aren't ripe enough. Try using ripe, sweet tomatoes for a more balanced flavor. 🍅
