Orange Soda in Tomato/Spaghetti Sauce?
A friend of mine mentioned that he goes to a pizza restaurant that has the best tomato sauce. Apparently they put orange soda (pop) in the sauce to sweeten it. Has anyone ever tried this? Just curious.

I agree with Jane quilter. When making your own sauce you can cut some of the acid by adding juiced carrots. I would even prefer to add cane sugar or honey over soda as soda usually has corn syrup as a sweetener and other undesirable ingredients.

maybe someone is " pulling his leg". When I do sauce from scratch or even jarred, I put a pinch of baking soda to cut the acid. A friend puts in a carrot? Never tried that myself

Geri, how much baking soda? My mom (age 97) complains about how the tomato sauce has way too much acid for her - but she loves spaghetti, and I am not making it from scratch - so I definitely need to add something to cut the acid.

My definition of a pinch is amount you can get between your thumb and index finger....it will foam a bit, stir and it will settle. Beware....too much will ruin the sauce......no fixing it...ask me how I know...do it while sauce is cooking...... If I'm making a huge pot of sauce, I will put a couple of pinches in.......makes a difference...no heart burn afterwards
