This is the BEST guide to making tomato sauce that you can use right away OR freeze! And pull out on a winters day when you are craving that one of a kind fresh tomato flavour.
Pro Tip: This recipe is an excellent formula, but feel free to adapt it as needed! Ie more or less of what you, in reflection of what you have on hand.
Ingredients:
6 lb tomatoes
4 onions
3 carrots
2 peppers
2 whole heads of garlic (roasted in foil)
Lots of basil (up to 60 leaves)
Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Roast all veggies with olive oil, salt and pepper at 400 for 60-70 minutes. If you’re including summer squash you would want to add it towards the end.
Cool slightly and then puree in food processor in batches, adding lots of basil leaves and squeezing the roasted garlic into each batch.
Salt to taste.
Freeze in zip locks or mason jars. If you don’t have a lot you can use this as a booster to other sauces.
