why do you need the coloring? Also, surely tomato sauce need not only be Romas and SMs.? We love making sauce from toasted cherry tomatoes. not to say that that doesn't look delicious. Are you preserving it?

And yes, obviously sauce doesn't have to be made from just Romas and SM tomatoes 😀. I've made it from cherry toms too!

The beet powder isn't necessary at all. The pink brandywines I used didn't have that deep tomato red color so the sauce just looked light to me. I've seen a few other cooks use beets for that purpose so thought I'd try it. I made this for dinner, not to preserve.
