Notes

This recipe has 3 net carbs per serving, and these numbers were calculated using Cento brand tomatoes. 
If you want to use fresh tomatoes, use 2 lbs: This is 10 to 12 normal sized tomatoes, but you may need to reduce them some as they will have more liquid. 
The sweetness of tomatoes can vary, so if you choose great tomatoes the flavor will be great. But you can add up to a teaspoon of erythritol to get a sweeter sauce. 
Do NOT omit the juice from the tomatoes during pureeing or you’ll end up with less sauce – and your concentration of carbs will be higher per serving. Use the half cup called for in the recipe. 
This recipe makes between 3 and 4 cups of sauce.
