Using canned tomatoes in hot sauces

[rebman2005]

I want to experiment with tomatoes this year in some sauce ideas but never used them. How can you go about using tomatoes without making it taste like a spaghetti sauce? Does it matter how long you cook them?

Well make sure you get good quality cans and do small test batches. I used to use Rega Tomato 100oz tins.

10-4... So stay clear of the generic store brands.

I'd say any can that says:
 
tomatoes, citric acid
 
only. Try to stay away from salt, sugar, spices, preservatives.

It won't taste like spaghetti sauce just because it is tomatoes, I mean salsa does not right. You just have to craft it correctly.

I have a reaper puree that has tomatoes, tastes killer. The tomatoes give it a nice consistency and tame the reaper enough to where it is not reapers only, a good puree for sure. So tomatoes can work well.
