i’ve been making lots of tomato sauce this summer. i like to put about a cup of basil leaves, 4 cups of spinach, a sprig of fresh thyme and 4 sprigs of fresh oregano in my food processor, blend it up, and mix it into my tomato sauce. I add the garlic, salt, and sugar, but no onions. Once I used kale in place of the spinach, plus a cup of cashews chopped up into fine pieces in the food processor. That’s was a good pasta sauce, too.

It is the most tasty awesome sauce, that I have ever yet made. I started with about 5 pounds of tomatoes and ended with 12oz of sauce. (I cooked it down though 4hours by ‘crock-pot)

Do you know approximately how many pounds of tomatoes you had ? I’d like to try this!

Wow, beautiful! And this brings back memories of the 3-generation operation we had going in my grandma’s basement when I was little. After scoring the tomatoes and dropping them in the boiling water, we didn’t bother to keep time, though; the rule was, you left them immersed for just enough time to say the Hail Mary. Deliciousness and redemption all at the same time.

It looks very nice! And I think it should be a perfect sauce for cooking pasta!

Hey kim! Yeah, I make a roasted tomato sauce. I just really wanted to do this the complicated way. Michelle and I plan on canning berries sometime in August, you should come over and can with us!

hey isa — if you’re growing any paste/roma tomatoes, check out the recipe in deborah madison’s ‘vegetarian cooking for everyone’ (i think) for roasted tomato sauce. it’s crazy easy and low on labor and it yields delicious sauce. no peeling, no seeding, no pain in the ass. it’s awesome. are you canning or pickling anything else this year?

Thanks for sharing this! Most of the homemade sauce recipes I’ve found on the web tend to use tomato paste. I’ve been looking for an entirely homemade one like this for a while!
