HOME MADE TOMATO SAUCE FOR BUSINESS.


Sure! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make tomato sauce:

Step 1: Gather the ingredients

- 2-3 pounds of fresh tomatoes

- 1 medium-sized onion, chopped

- 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced

- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 1 teaspoon of sugar (optional)

- Herbs and spices like basil, oregano, or thyme (optional)

Step 2: Prepare the tomatoes

- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves.

- Cut a small "X-shaped" at the bottom of each tomato.

- Bring a large pot of water to boil and place the tomatoes in the boiling water for about 30-60 seconds.

- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to a bowl of ice water to cool down.

- Once cooled, peel off the skin from the tomatoes. The skin should easily slide off due to blanching.

Step 3: Cook the sauce

- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat.

- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

- Meanwhile, roughly chop the peeled tomatoes.

- Add the chopped tomatoes to the saucepan along with salt and sugar (if using). Stir well.

- Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

- If desired, add herbs and spices like basil, oregano, or thyme to enhance the flavor.

- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.

Step 4: Blend or leave chunky (optional)

- Once the sauce has cooked down and thickened, you can choose to leave it chunky or use a handheld blender or blender to puree it for a smoother consistency.

Step 5: Store or use immediately

- Let the tomato sauce cool down completely before transferring it to airtight containers.

- Store in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze in portions for longer storage.

That's it! You have made tomato sauce from scratch. You can use this sauce as a base in various recipes like pasta dishes, pizzas, or stews. Enjoy!
