Source of Recipe


Amy Giaquinta






List of Ingredients



• 3 lbs. ripe tomatoes, quartered
  
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  
• Sea salt
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 300° F. Put the tomatoes in a large glass baking dish. (It's okay if they are more than a single layer deep.) Add the olive oil and some salt, and stir to coat. Bake, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are very soft and beginning to caramelize, about 3 hours.
   
   
2. Purée the tomatoes through a food mill fitted with the fine disk. Season to taste with salt.
   
   
3. Divide the tomato sauce among freezer containers. Cool, cover, and freeze.
   
   OR, divide among sterilized canning jars and process in a pressure canner according to manufacturer's directions. Store in a cool pantry for up to a year.
   
   Makes about 3 cups.
