How do you make a big pot of sphagetti sauce with fresh tomatoes? |
|
I have about 100 deep red ripe tomatoes that are sitting on the plants and if I don't do something with them quick I will end up with about 100 sun-dried tomatoes. Thanks

1. Alton Brown recently did a show |
|
using fresh tomatoes for a sauce. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_20175,00.htmlLet me know how it is--It really looked great, and I love the idea of skipping all the simmering time.

4. I don't even bother with the sieve - I like a rustic pasta sauce |
|
so I use the whole tomato - seeds and all.

7. Or peel them by hand, quarter, and scoop out the seeds |
|
I have a tomato grinder (looks like a meat grinder, sends seeds and skin out one side and pulp out the other) but for a small batch I just peel'em by hand and and scoop out the seeds.

3. Something else you can make.. |
|
My grandmother used to love making stewed tomatoes, which as far as I know... consisted of a bunch of crushed and or diced tomatoes, thrown in a pot with a cup of sugar (add sugar til it's a little sweet) and a little water. Let it simmer a long time, then add a little more water (like, say a cup) and bring to a boil, when it hits boiling mix in some starch (corn was what we always used, but its up to you) and let it thicken oh so slightly.
We used it as a topping for home fries and also for scrambled eggs and also for scrapple or sausage.

when mom and dad had a bumper crop of tomatoes... Of course, bloody marys made with freshly juiced tomatoes were also on the menu. Talk about good!
