This sauce can be frozen or canned in a hot water bath. It makes around 2 quarts, and is a great basic sauce that leaves room to add your own favorites like mushrooms, sausage, or cheeses. I have found that dried spices work best in this sauce. Ingredients:
12 large tomatoes, cored and quartered |
2 large onions, chopped |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup olive oil |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 teaspoons dried oregano |
4 teaspoons dried basil |
16 ounces tomato paste |
2 cups water |
2 beef bouillon cubes |
Directions:
1. Puree tomatoes in your food processor or blender 2-3 at a time and strain.
2. Cook onion in oil until translucent.
3. Add garlic and cook an additional minute.
4. Lightly crush the basil and oregano in your palm and add to the onion and garlic.
5. Add remainder of ingredients and simmer for 2 hours.
6. Cool and freeze or can at once.
