Homemade Tomato Sauce really is easier than it sounds. Like anything else it takes a little time, but really your stove and freezer will do the hard work.

I don’t like to eat tomatoes and neither does my husband so I’m really not sure why we planted tomatoes. We must be crazy! So I ended up with all these tomatoes no one was eating – now what? Tomato sauce! – we love to eat that. I cook with Tomato Sauce all the time, yah whoo! lets save some money.

Now our recipes will have Homemade Tomato Sauce.

  Porcupine Balls

Tacos

Spaghetti

Sloppy Joes

Chili

Pizza

– and so many others.

Now really it’s so easy.

1. Rinse tomatoes
2. With a sharp knife make a little X on each tomato
3. Boil tomatoes for 1 minute
4. Place tomatoes in ice water (I fill up my sink)
5. Peal tomatoes (the skins will slide right off)
6. Add a 15oz. can of Tomato Sauce to a large pot
7. Cut tomatoes in half and squeeze out all excess water and seeds
8. Place tomatoes in the large pot
9. Add seasoning now or wait and add later to your recipe
10. Simmer 2 hours (stir occasionally)
11. Optional: Place in blender for desired texture.
12. Freeze

See I told you it was easy. Enjoy!
