                         -- 8)

 Cook onions in oil until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes,
 salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Add sugar. Simmer over low heat for 1
 hour, stirring a few times and adding very little water if needed. Add
 oregano and basil off the heat. I also remembered that it is the seeds that
 make the sauce bitter. Miriam Podcameni Posvolsky Rio de Janeiro
 
 For the tomatoes not to be too acid or bitter you should cook them long.
 Also try adding a pinch of sugar to your sauce.
