posted by Cynthia Bowan on Family Fare


List of Ingredients




red-ripe tomatoes(any variety will do but plum tomatoes usually work best)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 small (6-ounce) can tomato paste
Water as needed



Recipe



Bring a large pot of water to the boil over high heat. Plunge tomatoes in batches
into the water for 1 minute per batch. Remove from the water and peel. Chop the tomatoes
into rough chunks.

Combine the tomatoes in a sauce pan with sugar, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Simmer for about 1 hour. Add the tomato paste and simmer for an additional hour, adding water if the sauce gets too thick.
