all else fails try this one"my tomato sauce" for a tasty tommy all perpose sauce....cook cook cook...you know it makes sense

It would depend on how many tomatoes you've added, but could go a couple hours on a low, simmering, low to medium, heat setting. You want to get all the water out and the consistency down to "sauce" thickness. Don't forget to add a teaspoon or two of salt at the end, otherwise the flavor will be "flat." Try putting it on the stove, and just watch it, stirring occasionally, and trust your instincts. - Hope that helps. Alina

@alinamorrow82 - Someone recently gave me a bag of Jersey "Beefsteak"tomatoes. I want to make a sauce out of them instead of Roma tomatoes which are mostly used for making fresh sauce. I don't know how would I remove the seeds after boiling them?

[organic527]

I have followed this recipe with Tomatoes from my garden although I'm not sure from the video how long I'm supposed to boil them?

Said and done .. Thank you!

Nice to meet another Alina. Glad you like the video.This one comes from my mother in Romania. It's how she made it when I was a little girl. Good luck with your sauce.

[Alina674]

Hi Alina! Another Alina here. Just wanted to say thanks for the video. I'm growing my own tomatoes & planning to make this sauce! great vid. :-)

[alinamorrow82]

I am so glad you liked this simple recipe. This is how my mother made it for me in Romania where I grew up. My husband and I like the simple but wonderful taste it provides on our homemade pizzas.

At the end of the video you show a bowl with the skins and pulp but I didn't see you seed the tomatoes in the video? Are you meant to seed the tomatoes in your recipe?

[alinamorrow82]

@dazzasue1 If you use a strainer like the one in the video, or a food mill, the seeds are too large to pass through the holes. Only the sauce gets through. Hope that helps.

[MegaSupritha]

very easy..but we need to get roma tomatotes.s that i could prepare in the kitchen!!!!so that i taste great reciepe!!!!!!!

[DasGespens666]

How long do you usually have to keep it boiling/ simmering? I hear either 45 minutes or 2-3 hours on different videos. So I'm kind of confused on that part. Also, how many tomatoes did you use? I count 8 on the chopping block and 3 in the blue plastic bowl on 0:10 but did you have more than that off screen? Lastly, should I try to squeeze all the water and seeds out before throwing them in the pot?

[Jesvel18]

when you put the peeled tomatoes(already cut into tiny pieces) to boil..do i have to add water to it or just put the tomatoes in? im so confused on this part. oh. and it's the part right around 1:03.

[alinamorrow82]

@Jesvel18 Hello, no water should be necessary, unless they start to scorch, but that shouldn't happen since we are trying to simmer the water out until the tomatoes are reduced to more of a sauce. Concerning 1:03+, the tomatoes take a long time to simmer/boil down. Toward the end of your simmer/boil down, add a pinch or two of salt. The salt actually brings out a sweetness in the tomatoes. Without the salt, the sauce will taste dull and lifeless. Hope that helps. Alina

[Jesvel18]

@alinamorrow82 yes it helped =] thank you

[goonerfromjhb]

How long can you keep the ketchup version for before it goes off?

Could I also use your method as a base for making chilli sauce?

[83BarFly]

After the tomatoes are cut, are they boiled by themselves, or added to water to boil? If so, how much water?

[alinamorrow82]

No water necessary. Remember, as you simmer the tomatoes down, they are becoming more liquid and sauce like. However, if you want to play it safe, you can put a thin coat of olive oil on the bottom of the pan to prevent the "scorching" you are concerned about. Olive oil is a main ingredient for most flavored tomato sauces anyway, and will add a touch of flavor to the simple tomato sauce you see in the first part of this video. Hope that helps. Alina

[83BarFly]

I'd aleady startng cooking but thanks for your reply. I trusted my instincts & added just a splash of olive oil. As I've seen alot of these videos & found yours to be most helpful, I was wondering if you planned on making another video for the next stage "The many things you could do with this sauce as a base"? I was making a pasta sauce & added garlic, onions & herbs. But from what I understand there is a particlar order & length of time for cooking all these small but important ingrediants.

[alinamorrow82]

I'm glad our video was helpful. We will improve this video & consider making one for flavored tomato sauces. Since we like to use tomatoes from our own garden, it may not be until July or Aug. I think the time will depend on the tomato (some have more pectin or more "water" to simmer out) & the amount of tomatoes. I'm not sure, but I believe the listed times were meant as a guide. Again, you'll have to trust your instincts. Hope that helps. Alina

[zobcity01]

will this sauce keep in a canning jar if poured while hot and left to cool & seal?

If so how long does it stay good?

Thx

[alinamorrow82]

The sauce made here will last as long as any tomato or spaghetti sauce you buy from the store, open, and then refrigerate. From your question, I think what you are interested in is "Canning" homemade tomato sauce for long term preservation and that is an added process done after you make this sauce and involves a pressure canner, etc. I believe there are some good videos on YT that show you how to do that. Hope that helps. Alina

[R3D00d]

So doing this rather than actually buying the shit.

[homesNgardens08]

Thank you!

[asdferag]

thats realy good. I put mushroom, slim chilli, black pepper corn, onion, origano, red pepper and curry powder. It tasted like my grannys chilli, i might even put kidney beans in next time i ate it with pasta. thank you
