Honey to offset the acidity
Bring to a boil, reduce to medium, cover and cook about 30 to 40 minutes until thickened, smashing the tomatoes and peppers with a wooden spoon.
It is ready when the water has evaporated and the sauce is thick; blend in a food processor or blender if a smooth sauce is wanted. Taste.
