Our garden this year started out great. Unfortunately we went many weeks mid summer with no rain. Many plants did not survive but 6 tomato plants did. All 3 of my basil plants went huge. I canned 2 batches of my homemade salsa. And now I’m working on spaghetti sauce. I have adapted a few recipes to make my own version. I am freezing it so I don’t have to worry about tomatoes in a can with the wrong PH balance.
Tomato Sauce
Blanch tomatoes by putting in boiling water for 3 mins. Remove and put in cold water. Peels will come right off.
Chop onions
2 tbsp of olive oil,
2 small cooking onions ,
5 cloves of garlic,
Sauté until onions are translucent.
1/2 cup of loosely chopped fresh basil,
1 cup of chicken stock,
1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes ,
20 peeled fresh tomatoes ,
1 can 6 oz of tomato paste.
1 tbsp of dried oregano ,
1tsp of salt,
1/2 tsp of pepper,
1/4 cup of parsley ,
Simmer for 3 hours
