Recently you may remember I purchased some Chia seed. Now one of the bonuses of Chia is that it will thicken food without changing its' taste. Rather than use cornflour to thicken my sauce I added Chia seed. It worked a treat and we now have a gorgeous sauce that is also full of Omega-3!
In addition to the Chia I added Nettles. Ground it wont change the taste of foods it is added to either. Nettles contain the highest plant form of Iron and are full of minerals & vitamins too.
Two dozen bottles were made, but once word gets out amongst friends and family I am making my sauces for the year I will need to do another 4 batches, it goes quickly!
I have to say, I do love the fact it's appreciated and that I can share it, and I love the fact that it is home made, not some store bought poison that is full of chemicals!
Speaking of good, healthy, home made foods, I include this video I found on Kellys blog. Healthy bodies need natural foods, not pre-packaged chemical parcels that poison our bodies.

I did not know that about chia. Thanks for the information! I saw chia seeds in the seed catalogue, but it didn't occur to me to buy any. I'll have to get some and try this as well.
Sounds very healthy!
Hi Leigh. If you use the search box on my blog and type in chia you will find more info on it:)

Sounds gorgeous - is it a secret recipe or do you share it by any chance?

Hi Korina, this blog is about sharing, so yes, you are welcome to the recipe:)
Look to the right hand side under all the labels, under Recipes-Tomato Sauce.
The chia & Nettle is optional, you dont have to use it:)
Let me know how you find it if you decide to make a batch:)
