Natural Tomato Sauce from Your Harvest
We're fast
approaching Lammas, the first harvest of three, and it's time
not so much to say goodbye to the
fruits of Mother Earth, but to enjoy the
abundance that harvest symbolizes. SoÉ.
Get thee to a tomato plant! Or, if you don't
have tomato plants, head for your nearest farmers' market
or
produce stand so you can share this delicious
homemade tomato sauce with your family.
First, peel, seed, and chop enough ripe tomatoes to equal 4
cups (number of tomatoes
depends on size).
Then, heat half a cup of olive
oil. Add
a cup of chopped
onion (if you like
onion), a cup of
chopped
carrot,
and a cup of chopped
celery. Saut. these
ingredients for about 5 minutes, then add
2 teaspoons
of
minced garlic and saut. for one more minute. Next, stir
in tomatoes, 1
teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of
salt. Lower the
heat. Simmer, uncovered, about half an hour.
Too much sauce? Want more later? Freeze it for
a hearty dinner in winter to remind you of your summer
harvest.
