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 never heard of that before , It may be ok but I don't think I would try it as orange and tomato flavors do not sound too appealing mixing inside the stomach
|
I'm not sure of the orangs, but I but sugar in with the tomato sauce to cut the acid. I am guessing that is why the soda.
|
Oh gosh, do we have to add more sugar to commercial tomato sauce that already has sugar in it? i think not. Make your own sauce and skip the sugar.

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.

I can't remember what it was but someone I knew added orange soda to something they made. I would give it a try.

I have a friend from Argentina who used to make a pasta sauce with tomatoes, cream, and orange juice. It was delicious.

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

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
