A step by step tutorial-pictorial on how to make tomato sauce...


First step: Get Hubby, children, friends or elderly relatives to go pick the tomatoes from your veggie garden! Step two: Have them thoroughly rinse/wash those red gems in cold water, especially if you have been an organic gardener. How shall I put this, animals that do not know where their bathroom might be, might not realize that although you try your darndest to keep it all natural that does not mean that you want them to supply you with fertilizer, not to mention birds and other defecating smaller beneficial critters, all of nature’s little loves. I hope that is perfectly clear? Step three: boil water in a large enough pot to hold your bounty, and place your harvest in with your basket so as not to splash the boiling water, this is purely to make the skin lift luxuriously off from the ruby fruits and you don’t want yours to too! I know if you’re boiling them why wash off them before hand, hmm? Would you like any of what I said in step two in your stainless pot? Enough said. Step four: Once you see the skin begin to lift away you should submerge your garnet jewels, using the proper tool, a basket, into an ice bath; this action creates a more immediate reaction and you find it is as easy as one two three to peel away the skin as if it is you broiling in the Florida sun on a hot, hot, hot August day! As soon as all the tomatas are naked you are gonna wanta rinse the boiling pot, for now it is a twofer and becomes your sauce pot. Step five: Place those mature veggies right into that high topped vessel with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and commence to smashing them with the appropriate device, see in the picture provided. Step six: Chop fresh ingredients, such as basil, oregano, garlic, and add into the pot, splash a bit of lemon in too as well as some sugar, but in my case Stevia and salt to taste. Bring to a slow simmer for as long as a couple of hours. Uncover to allow the moisture to leave, giving you a thicker sauce. Step seven: Choose any type of pasta to have for dinner, we chose ravioli for tonight. Step eight: Sit and enjoy with family or friends. The end is near! TA DA! On that note that I hope will be in all of your notes, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and to ask you to kindly count all your blessings and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
