Tomato Sauce

Every winter, we plan our gardens and every spring, we plant and dream of fresh tomatoes. So later in the year when we are in the midst of winter, fresh tomato sauce from last summers garden is like a breath of fresh air.

And then, the tomatoes come in. Lots and lots of tomatoes. There are so many tomatoes that you completely run out of ways to use them before they go bad. If you are like us, you find yourself trying to give tomatoes to everyone you know. Renee’s mom even used to leave tomatoes in their mailbox for the mailman to take home.

Tomato sauce is the perfect way to use all those tomatoes and to capture that “just picked” taste of summer. As delicious as tomato sauce is, it is also incredibly versatile. While tomato sauce pairs beautifully with plain pasta, it is delicious in chicken, vegetable, rice and many other dishes. And let’s not forget everyone’s favorite brunch cocktail, the Bloody Mary.

Enjoy your fresh sauce for up to 5 days and then freeze the rest so you can enjoy it all year long.
