Question:
Would fire roasted varieties of tomatoes be an option to avoid bitterness/sourness?
— Roy L. Cox
Answer:
absolutely. Fire-roasted tomatoes varieties for your cans, I think that's the follow-up to what you were talking about before, are great, too. Just again, try to look for the non-BPA-lined can for those. I usually use fire-roasted versus other ones, just kind of depending on the usage. But for some reason, my kids are not as big a fan of the fire-roasted so for pizza sauces and stuff in the wintertime, I'm typically not going to use those. But yeah, great option to be able to use. Just look for the non-BPA-lined can if you can, Roy.
