hello - this recipe is from my mum and a firm favourite at weekends.

sorry about the vague quantities!

1 onion
3-4 carrots
2 x tinned tomatoes (plum or chopped)
knob of butter or marg or tsp olive oil

melt fat, sweat roughly chopped onions and carrots for about 5 mins.
add tinned tomatoes and cook on a simmer for about 30 mins.
blitz in a food processor or using a blending stick.
add some water if too thick.

can be easily frozen.

I make it similar to zubezube but substitute ketchup for tomato puree and don't add any salt or sugar

Jaffa, try this one

It's easy to do and you can omit the peppers if you don't like them

I like mine to have a bit of a kick to keep out the chill.

1 onion and 1 clove garlic and 1 red chillie sweated down in pan, add 2 tins of tomatoes and a little stock simmer for bout 15min then let cool and blend.
