Today we started at the farmers market by purchasing about 40 lbs of local tomatoes and about 2 lbs of onions with one goal in mind. Make and freeze as much tomato sauce as we can. I thought it was something worth documenting. So here you go:
1. Tomatoes
Tina doing the processing in the back yard. This definitely saved us from a large mess in the kitchen.
2. Blending
3. Blended tomatoes + tastey herbs and spices (this was the first of 2 batches)
4. Stirring.
5. Cooking...after two hours this reduced the sauce from 10 quarts to about 7.
6. First batch cooling on the counter. When all said and done we will have about 14 quarts of sauce. Of course we still need to get some more freezer containers.

This looks great! You should be in a commercial for super-modern-mom! The colors are beautiful, plain tomatoes and the spicey ones.
