How To Make home made tomato sauce

  • Step 1
    In a large soup pot, boil some water. Drop the tomatoes into the boiling water for a few minutes, then into cold water. Remove the skins from all the tomatoes. Discard the skins.
  • Step 2
    Put the peeled tomatoes in a bowl and set aside.
  • Step 3
    Clean out the pot and add some oil; saute on medium low.
  • Step 4
    Saute the cut up onion. Soon as the onions are just transparent, add the chopped up Portabella mushrooms. Saute a few more minutes.
  • Step 5
    Add the pressed garlic and stir, don't let the garlic burn. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Step 6
    Add the tomatoes and break them up into smaller pieces. Stir around and add some of the herbs. Simmer for approximately 35-40 minutes.
  • Step 7
    Store in a large jar in a fridge. I got 2 gallons of sauce out of this recipe.
  • Step 8
    Enjoy!
