Very very dull but about to waste a ton of mince- my spaghetti sauce tastes like vinegar...HELP!!

[MovingOutOfBlighty]

Think I used a cheap Tesco own tomato puree.

Don't want to add sugar as may become sweet and vinegary, so feeling stuck.

Problem is, I did a big batch for the freezer so any advice on neutralising the vinegary taste?
Ta!

Try simmering it for a good while to reduce, with the lid off.

My mum used to use Bisto, if you're after a shortcut, but that's not exactly authentic.

bisto granules?

marmite?

soy sauce?

dunno, but try posting in food/recipes/chat. you may get a quicker response.

i'm sure someone will come along to help save it. don't bin it yet!

2 votes for Bisto. Will go with that! Ta chaps!

Add sugar to counter vinagar-iness, followed by beef stock (or bovril, or worcester sauce) to counter sweetness.

And buy Sainsbury's basic in future - much better than Tesco Value IME.

Thank you stealth &co - that sounds like a plan.

Poor mince - I normally only use Waitrose puree at my poshness!

Can you dilute it with a tin of better quality tomato puree? Then try a teeny bit of sugar, keep tweaking, try the bisto, then a splash of wine if you've got it around.. then perhaps some herbs (dried will do, I usually use Oregano) keep tweaking until it's right. You might end up with more than you started with but if you're freezing that's alright isn't it?

Excessively dull update but Bisto and sugar has worked! Thank you ladies!
