ROASTED PLUM TOMATO SAUCE

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you have lots of plum tomatoes in your garden, or can find some well priced ones at your market, here’s an easy sauce recipe with tons of flavor. We have made it three times as our plum tomatoes ripened and it’s fairly quick. It tasted a little sweet our pizza and pasta dishes, even though there is no added sugar. Next year we are going to add in another plum tomato plant as they are so easy to process and the kids can easily help harvest them.

Sauce recipes that call for taking the skins off tomatoes before cooking always became such a hassle. In this recipe, the tomatoes are roasted slowly so the skins are much easier to peel off before processing. It’s not a lot of hands on time, you just need to give yourself about an hour and a half for cooking and prepping.
