How to Substitute Tomato Sauce for Other Forms of Tomatoes
Some recipes call for ketchup. Others need tomato sauce or tomato juice. Is there some way you can substitute one of these for the others?
Take a can of tomato sauce and try some of these substitutions:
- 1 cup ketchup (for use in cooking): substitute 1 cup tomato sauce, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 cup chili sauce: substitute 1 cup tomato sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, dash of ground cloves and dash of allspice
- 1 cup tomato juice: substitute 1/2 cup tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water
- 1 10-3/4 ounce can tomato soup: substitute 1 cup tomato sauce plus 1/4 cup water
