Does anyone have a good tomoato sauce recipe?

[Guest guest]

We have five huge tomato plants and I've got more tomatoes than I know

what to do with. My older daughter is not eating tomatoes yet, but I

thought I would try canning.

- Does anyone have a good recipe that makes use of the tomatoes I have

(rather than adding tomato juice)?

- Any advice for storing the tomato sauce in glass jars?

Thanks!

I don't know if this qualifies as a good tomato sauce recipe - but this is

what I have been doing.

I have a bunch of dried tomatoes - from the dehydrator - that some friends

gave me from their garden. Left overs from last year.

I have a great blender (Vita Mix). So, I put the dried tomatoes (I mean

really crisply dried) into the blender and pulverize them until they are a

powder. Mostly this is because they were not skinned or seeded before they

were dried.

Then, I put some distilled water on to boil - about 1 & 1/2-2 cups and add

spoonfuls of tomato powder to the water. I add enough powder until it is a

syrupy consistency and then let it simmer down until it is a great tomato

paste.

I'm going to the farmer's market this Saturday just to buy tomatoes (I'm an

apartment dweller with no space for a garden) so I can drag out my

dehydrator and stock up on tomato powder for the winter.

Mama,

I am giving you a website with all sorts of suggestions about using tomatoes.

The recipes

will have to be adapted for SCD. You can make salsa, tomato sauce, tomato pie,

ketchup,

fried tomatoes , gazpacho, stuffed tomatoes. tomato soup, pizza, meat sauce,

chili sauce

etc. Check the ingredients and if the recipes do not call for much substitution

it should

adapt well.

Here is a good recipe for SCD Tomato sauce which will freeze well and has meat

in it:

Thanks for the tomoato ideas. I don't have a dehydrator and we don;t

eat beef, but I saved the link to the other tomato recipes and will

give them a try. I appreciate your input!

The basic tomato sauce is just made by simmering a 48 oz. can of legal tomato

juice and

adding a bay leaf and seasonings of your choice. Let it cook on low to medium

heat until it

reaches the consistency you want. When it cools add a little honey. You can

freeze some in

an ice cube tray for later convenience. You could also cook crushed skinned

fresh

tomatoes, adding some water. I did find legal canned crushed tomatoes in

Ontario,

Utopia-ville and got a letter from them certifying the only ingredients as

tomaties

and salt. I had to dilute them with 50% water. I only used them once b/c I

prefer the

sauce made with tomato JUICE.
