Tomato Sauce

This weekend we thawed out all of the processed tomatoes that we froze over the summer.  It ended up being around 20-something jars.  Our first project was to make tomato sauce with 7 lbs. of tomatoes.  We even had some basil we had frozen from the garden to use as seasoning.

We didn’t use a recipe specifically for canning, so we poured the sauce into old pasta jars and froze them for later.  The remaining 10 lbs. of tomatoes will be made into salsa!  Good activity for a cold Sunday.
