Old Fashion Tomato Sauce

I spotted a big basket of fresh Roma tomatoes at the St. Lawrence Market, and thought tomato sauce! I spent my Sunday afternoon making a big batch of sauce. Some to enjoy now and some to put in the freezer and eat throughout the fall. 

How To?

Makes About 10 Cups of Sauce

16 Roma Tomatoes
1 Onion
2 Cloves Garlic
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Butter
Small Hand Full of Basil Leaves
Pepper and Salt

1. Blanch the tomatoes: Cook them in boiling water for a couple of minutes and then pour cold water over them to stop them cooking
2. Peel the tomatoes
3. Cook the onions in the olive oil and butter until slightly browned
4. Add the tomatoes and garlic to the onion mix
5. Let simmer over low heat for 10 - 15 minutes
6. Add in the basil, pepper and salt
7. Add to a blender for a smooth sauce or leave as is, for a chunky sauce
8. Enjoy!
