Love this recipe… make it every year
Yay! Tis the season 🙂
Is it necessary to peel them? Would there be any negative effect if I left the pills on? Thank you
Not necessary to peel at all! Just a different texture (but more beneficial fiber)
Love this recipe. So east. Sometimes I just run it on 10 and cook it that way so it’s really saucy. So easy!
Thank you so much for this recipe
You’re so very welcome for this recipe. 🙂
Hi Sophie,
Thanks for the kind words. 🙂
You can probably keep it in the fridge for up to a week. Maybe try freezing half of it — I’d guess it last in the freezer for several months. 🙂
Hi Lenny,
Love the website – quick question on how long this sauce would last if it’s just lil’ old me eating all of this?
Thanks
Sophie
