Fresh Marinara Sauce

"We searched the zaar recipes, tried one but still thought the original one we use to make 17 years ago was the best so posting for quick access. This recipe comes from a Sunset Cookbook - Canning and Freezing and Drying, Pickling and Smoking 1975/1981. Roma tomatoes work best but your quick ripening garden harvest of all kinds will work too."

directions

  • Immerse tomatoes, a few at a time, in boiling water for about 1 minute. Lift out with a slotted spoon and plunge into cold water. Peel off and discard skins. Coarsely chop tomatoes to make 11 to 12 cups total.
  • Heat oil in 5 qt or larger pot over medium heat.
  • Cook garlic, onions, and carrots stirring occasionally until soft.
  • Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer rapidly, uncovered and stirring occasionally for about 1 1/2 hours or until sauce is very thick and reduced to about half.
  • Let cool. Pour into freezer containers or freezer bags and freeze for up to 4 months.
  • Serve over pasta sprinkled with parsley and grated parm or romano cheese. Try spaghetti squash for low carb.
  • Spoon hot marinara sauce over individual servings of cooked steak or ground beef patties. Try over hot or cold seafood.
  • Great with vegetables like hot whole green beans, or sliced zucchini.
  • A great way to add vegies into your diet. Increase the amount of carrot, we have also added chopped celery.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Update Nov 2009 - I live in Northwestern Ontario with the cold and the bugs. A baby born in each of my decade 20's 30's 40's!!! plus 2 grandsons now. I love to cook and hardly ever repeat a recipe. I never really had a fav cookbook but I now have a favorite recipe site that I am totally addicted to-RECIPEZAAR!!! I still email recipes to my own kids. My pet peeve is those folks who turn their noses up at a dish even before they try it. My family have sat at the table with a pig tail or a chicken foot on their plate just becuz I found a recipe - HAHAHa - cooking should be fun and very once in a while the dogs get a treat! I also love watching decorating shows and my husband keeps promising to put wheels on the furniture to make room arrangments easier! We don't hobby farm anymore on our 8 acres and the large veg garden has been made over - half rock garden and other half with 12 new raised cedar beds because I am getting old and the knees don't work so well. It is fabulous and will post a new cover pic altho I love my Inukshuks!! I LOVE snowshoeing and am blessed to be able to walk out my back door and enjoy.
