    Just add them in as you would a tin - well, chopped up a bit first :p

    If you want to skin them, make a little cross in the bottom and drop them into boiling water for a few seconds. They'll peel really easily then :)

    Yep, it'll be fine if you want to add them too - just bung them in and give it a wee taste :)

    Cooking doesn't have to be precise, sometimes your own concoctions turn out nicer than what the recipes advise :D

    I think you can add sugar if you find it a bit acidic. Alternatively, you could roast the tomatoes bringing out their own natural sweetness. Grated carrot is also quite sweet as an addition if necessary.
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:
