Makin' Sauce.

Tomatoes are ripe, the summer is sizzling, and I'm getting ready for winter. Tomato sauce is the best thing to make at home as you can saute onions and garlic and make the entire house smell savory. TECHNICAL TERM TIME! Concasse, it technically means crushed or ground but more specifically refers to tomatoes that are peeled, seeded, then chopped. I slice an X on the tomato bottom, blanch and shock it, then peel it. I have put pictures below. After the tomatoes have stewed for a bit then I use the immersion blender to smooth them into a sauce perfect for pasta and the like. TIP TIME: I freeze the sauce in ice cube trays to store it for later use. As I have yet to attempt canning this makes for easy use later.
