Homemade Fresh Tomato Sauce – Recipe

Homemade Fresh Tomato SauceThe harvest season in my garden is slowly coming to an end.  All is left are few more tomatoes, Parsley, Green Peppers, Sorrel, Chives and few Red Beets.

Since the tomatoes decided to ripen all at once, my kitchen got busy with cooking homemade tomato sauce.  It’s a long process, since I hardly ever cook ONE thing for 4 hours, tending to it at least every 20 minutes….but it’s all worth it, once I get a taste of the finished product…delish!

What a difference between the flavor of the homemade sauce, and the store-bought one; but I wouldn’t want to always make my own sauce…way too much work, and it takes so many tomatoes to produce only few cups of sauce.

Serve hot with your favorite homemade pasta, meatballs, spaghetti meat sauce, or tomato sauce to bake with Eggplant Rollatini.
