Collected all the ripe tomatoes from the #garden today and made some sauce with a fancy pants America's Test Kitchen recipe. I don't grow any off the ideal varieties for making sauce so the prep probably took twice as long as it should have. I should probably grow sauce varieties next year since I tend to use them for sauce more than anything else. Despite the recipe not being for this variety the sauce came out fantastic.

Looks good, even though I have no idea what sauce is it!

Basic ingredients but time consuming!
Remove the seeds over a sieve to collect the juice. Toss the core but blend the rest to a puree. Heat some garlic, red pepper, and oregano in olive oil and mix all the puree and most of the juice into the sauce. Simmer down until it's thick, take away heat then add basil, a little more olive oil, and the rest of the juice. The juice retains the bright sweet flavor of a fresh tomato and really brightens up the sauce flavor!

I've made a few different sauces and this is one of the most involved, but I'd do it again. Especially if you enjoy the flavor of tomato right off the vine.
