Juice many pounds of windfall apples and your left some pulp , save the pulp and look at your lovely foaming juice
Then for something else juices some lush pears
Add you pear pulp to you apple pulp
Bag it up well in a mash bag.
Add to you fermenter, along with sugar and some yeast and some pectolase [ helps settle the pectin in the mix and takes it to the bottom ] and some citric acid , cover and leave for 5 days.
The blend tastes lush already.

add all the rest of the ingredients and bring to boil n simmer until you have a rich tomato style sauce.
If you’re using pre-cooked beans chuck them in and bring to boil.
