A load of Sungold cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, onion and oregano is the perfect blend for pasta or pizza sauce.
Today I decided to make it into pizza sauce. I stemmed the tomatoes and placed them on a cookie sheet that had a bit of olive oil. I place the sheet in the oven at 250 degrees for about an hour. I like to warm them to bring out the juices.
The tomatoes and remaining ingredients were put in a large pan on medium low heat and cooked for several hours. I wanted a thick sauce to use on pizza.
After cooking I placed it all in the food processor and pureed it. I wanted to make sure the tomato skins were well blended into the whole mixture.
I placed the sauce into freezer bags, labeled them and placed them in the freezer on a cookie sheet so they would freeze flat.
When frozen flat each bag will stand upright like a file folder of food instead of laying flat and allowing everything to pile on top of one another. It’s a great way to keep freshness in order. They also thaw much quicker than when frozen in a bulky plastic container.
