Emma too I spent the twenty-four hr stream at The School House on Lord's Day making fresh tomato plant sauce.  I had made closed to lastly weekend for dinner amongst Mike's parents too it was hence delicious, I decided to brand a huge batch piece existent summertime tomatoes were plentiful.

In Lexington at that spot are hence many farmstands that lead maintain wonderful (inexpensive!) local produce.  The garden at The School House is nonetheless a duo of weeks or hence away from having "plentiful" tomatoes, but nosotros are picking several baskets total of cherry tomatoes correct straightaway too nosotros did selection our really kickoff large tomato plant this week.  Soooo, I justice I'll live doing this all over over again inwards August amongst the tomatoes from our ain garden from the xvi plants nosotros lead maintain (yikes!).

For this large batch, I used all of these 12 large tomatoes + 4 onions + iii sticks of butter.   It made seven x 8oz. containers (Plastic Kitchen Container Sets, xviii for $8 here) of sauce to pose inwards the freezer or give away.  

We peculiarly similar this sauce amongst large rigatoni.  After cooking the pasta, I house the rigatoni straight inwards amongst the sauce too allow it prepare for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to soak upward the sauce.  I served it amongst Pesto Grilled Chicken topped amongst melty fresh mozzarella too it was the best repast we've had all summer.

Getting photobombed piece I was taking these photos.  

Eating chips too dip, of course!

I bought a "real" seeded large watermelon.  I don't intend Emma had e'er seen existent watermelon seeds...

These tomatoes came from our garden.  I'll part closed to to a greater extent than photos too the plans for the School House garden soon.  The extreme rut too lack of pelting has done a let on on the grass, hence it isn't the prettiest for photos.  But, I'm nonetheless developing the longterm excogitation that I'll part soon.

Fresh Summer Tomato Sauce

We made a triple batch of this recipe.

4 large tomatoes
1 large onion
1 stick of butter
1 tablespoon of body of body of water salt

Dice 2 of the large tomatoes too pose them inwards a large saucepan.    Chop the other tomatoes into large pieces too blend them until pureed.  Pour them into the saucepan.

Peel the onion too cutting inwards half.  Place it inwards the saucepan too add together the butter.

Cook on medium until bubbling, too then trim to depression to simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to perish on it from sticking to the bottom.

Let cool, too then scoop out onions.  Pour into freezer containers or serve amongst pasta.

Half of the tomatoes were diced similar this too went straight into the large sauce pot.

The other one-half of the tomatoes went into a blender too were blended completely - skins, seeds too all.

I poured the pureed tomatoes inwards amongst the diced tomatoes + butter + large onions peeled too cutting inwards half.  It cooked for near 2 hours on a medium-low simmer.

After it had reduced too cooked for 2 hours, I allow it cool on the stove for closed to other hour, too then used a large slotted spoon to clit out the onion pieces.  I separated the onion pieces into closed to other bowl, too then pose them inwards a freezer bag.  I intend they'll live cracking for chili inwards the fall.

I spooned the sauce into 8 oz. Plastic Kitchen Containers.  I pose all of the containers on a Large Sheet Pan, too then pose them inwards the refrigerator to cool completely earlier I pose the lids on.

I labeled them "Summer Tomato Sauce 7.15.18" too got them read for giving too freezing.
