Oven Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 16 Cups Cherry Tomatoes

  • 3/4 Cup Olive Oil

  • 2 Tbsp Onion Powder

  • 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder

  • 1/2 tsp Salt

  • 1/2 tsp Pepper

  • 2 tsp Oregano

Directions:

  • Remove stems and wash tomatoes (thaw if frozen)

  • Place tomatoes in a single layer on baking sheet(s)

  • Drizzle with olive oil and all seasonings EXCEPT oregano

  • Bake at 425° for 45-60 minutes or until skins are wrinkly

  • Let cool

  • Blend in a food processor until creamy

  • Run sauce through a food mill (or press through sieve) *NOTE - this step is extremely important for a skin and seed free sauce

  • Add oregano

  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed

Tips:

  • Garden Tomatoes give the best flavor. Clean, de-stem, and freeze them whole until you are ready to make sauce.

  • You can refrigerate the sauce for a week or freeze for extended storage.

  • Freezing in quart containers, inside of a gallon bag, works best for long term storage.

  • Sometimes frozen sauce needs sugar to cut acidity.
