Last week, when I received my Bracco Farms CSA box, I was a bit overwhelmed with the huge share of gorgeous tomatoes I received. Considering I have a healthy harvest of my own tomatoes, I was a bit weary of what I’d do with all those beauties – I love tomatoes, but one can only consume so many in a week’s time!
The lovely Christa at Bracco Farms, without prompting, must have a read my mind and asked if I needed a quick and easy tomato sauce that freezes well for any extra tomatoes I might have…YES!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s a simple sauce recipe Christa shared with me. It was exactly what I was looking for.
Chop the large tomatoes into chunks, the cherry tomatoes into halves and put them all together in a big pot.
Drizzle a fair amount of olive oil (or any oil) over them with some salt. DO NOT COVER OR ADD WATER. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for about ½ hour to release some of the natural water.
Cool and then freeze for the winter!
Please post a comment if you use this simple recipe for your extra harvest tomatoes.
Thanks,
Veronique
