Blanch the tomatoes by scoring an 'X' at the bottom of each, then place them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until the skins begin to peel back. Transfer into a bowl of ice water to cool, then remove skins and chop the tomatoes.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot along with 1 cup of water. Stir well to combine.
Mix in the dried basil, oregano, thyme, and the bay leaf. Season with salt and black pepper.
Stir in the erythritol and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer, uncovered, for about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the bay leaf from the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Use the sauce immediately, or allow it to cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
