End of the Summer Harvest Tomato Sauce image

Harvesting the remainder of the tomatoes, zucchinis, yellow squash and cherry tomatoes before a reported frost had me scrambling a bit. I figured on making sauce but needed a bit more, so this came out a chunky, vigorous sauce for dinner and for freezing. I also used fresh herbs, basil, oregano, and chives to add spunk. Dried herbs can be subbed. Season to your taste. This is a basic sauce.

2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 cups water
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Then mash with potato masher and cook on low for 6-8 more hours.
  • Add more seasonings to taste at his point.
  • FOR FREEZING- put into freezer containers and freeze.
  • I do not add meat at this point, I add meat when reheating for dinner.
  • Notice: I do not skin tomatoes, as I mash them in the sauce.
  • For a smoother sauce when cool and before freezing run through a sieve or a blender, then put into freezer containers.
