Report
This homemade tomato sauce recipe is proof that sometimes the best things in life are the simplest ones! Ripe tomatoes, salt, an onion and butter. That’s all you need for the greatest tomato sauce of all time.
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 pounds fresh ripe tomatoes (or about 2 1/2 28oz cans of peeled tomatoes)
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 large yellow or sweet onion, peeled and halved
- 1 stick unsalted butter 8 tablespoons
Instructions
- Start by peeling and roughly chopping the tomatoes.
- Combine the chopped tomatoes, salt, onion halves and butter in a large Dutch Oven (or heavy bottomed pot). Bring to a boil over medium high heat, until the tomatoes start releasing their juices.
- Lower the heat to a steady simmer and cook, uncovered, for 45 minutes or until thickened to the desired consistency. Make sure to simmer occasionally, using your wooden spoon to mash up the large pieces of tomatoes.
- Taste and adjust salt.
- Remove the onion and serve with pasta, can or freeze for later, or use it in other recipes!
Notes
- Don't toss it! You can use it to make dips, use it in other recipes or in sandwiches. You could even puree it and add it back to the sauce, but then the flavor of the sauce won't be the same!
- This sauce can be canned (which will preserve it for up to a year) or frozen for up to 3-4 months. If freezing, make sure to let it cool completely before freezing in large freezer bags.
- In the fridge, this sauce will keep for up to 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container.
