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

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.

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.

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

@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?

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?
