Tomato Sauce

How to make tomato sauce or it's time to get tomato based sauce back on your radar.

First, the ingredients.

Pictured above are the tomatoes, the basil, and the oregano from left to right. I thought it would be fun to make an all garden fresh tomato sauce.

Step 2, peel the tomatoes. To peel the tomatoes cut the tomatoes in half or score the bottoms. Place them in boiling water until the skins loosen from the flesh. Then drop them in ice water and move them to a separate bowl to dry. This should loosen the skin and allow them to be peeled more easily.

Step 3, place the peeled tomatoes in a pot or dutch oven. Add herbs, chopped and simmer for an hour or more. Stir and break up the tomatoes to your desired consistency. If you want smooth sauce, run the tomatoes through a food processor or blender.

And that's all there is to it, although you should add salt to taste.
