How can I remove the burnt taste from spaghetti sauce?

Question

My husband was cooking spaghetti sauce while I was out and I guess forgot about it for awhile and so it began to burn. He removed the sauce without stirring it into another pot however the burnt taste remains. I feel bad and don't really want to throw it out because he seemed so sad lol. I was wondering if there is any way the sauce can be salvaged or if anyone has any tips on removing the burnt taste. Thanks!

Answer 1

I suppose that this gets to be a good lesson to watch the sauce!  Anyway, if the sauce is edible, then make the most of it.  You can add a little sugar, more tomato sauce, chopped veges etc. but I suspect that the underlying and lingering flavor will be burnt!  

Answer 2

Get a little tipsy first.  I know this is a bit facetious, but it'll work :)

Answer 3

Sorry dear, you can't, I have tried often. LoL

Answer 4

Unfortunately you can't. Along with salt,sugar, herbs and spices the burnt taste becomes infused with the hamburger and sauce.

Answer 5

Unfortunately there is little you can do to save a sauce once it has been scorched,,,

Answer 6

throw it out and cook some more then tell him it aged to perfection.

Answer 7

add sugar and peanut butter. and some more sauce  

Answer 8

Try adding some finely grated carrots!    They're a natural sweetener (and slight thickener).
