Pax 33 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I'm a beginner at this, first year. any suggestions are welcome. I've been making tomato sauce ('gravy' as my Italian neighbors call it) with my nice Roma harvest. I also add cans of locally grown, organic, plum tomatoes if I have ready Romas but not enough to justify sauce making. I throw other varieties of tomatoes in if they are reaching prime, with no plans for their immediate use. I use the recipe for "Basil-Garlic Tomato Sauce" from the Bell Blue Book: guide to preserving (2010), page 74. We have a 12" pot, 2 steps out the back door with sweet basil growing in it. I also grew my own oregano this year... success . I'm freezing the completed sauce in zip loc bags (after it cools off - trying not to connect hot food and plastics now for food safety reasons) and putting them in a deep freeze at zero degrees. This winter I'll make lasagnas and other Italian entrees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
