Basic Fresh Tomato Sauce image

I discovered this sauce recipe by total accident, randomly paging through a 33 year old Sunset canning book. Once made, it is the BEST fresh tomato sauce I've ever tried or made. Well worth the time it takes to make from scratch.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 onions, medium-sized, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced

  • Meanwhile, immerse tomatoes, a few at a time, in a large pan of boiling water for 1 minute; then lift out and plunge in plunge into cold water. Pull off and discard skin.
  • Cut tomatoes into eighths and add cooked onions, along with green onion, green pepper, salt, pepper, anise seed, oregano, rosemary, paprika, and the 2 cups of dry red wine.

I've tried many tomato sauce recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The combination of fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil is perfect. I served it over pasta and it was a huge hit with my family.
