Recipe: Tomato sauce

A homemade tomatosauce, tastes so much better than the once you buy at the supermarket, and it is super easy to make.
Man kan tydeligt smage forskel. Den smager super frisk & ægte ♥

As soon as you have skinned the tomatoes, then the rest are taking care of it self.
Let it simmer – And do other fun & imortant things while it is cooking 🙂
When it is done, pour on preserved glasses & save it for a rainy day ..

I make a bunch at a time and then store in the fridge – Then I always have some delicious stuff for a easy dinner, later on

I use my tomato sauce on pizza & pasta.

How to make it:

Skin the tomatoes – How to do it:

• With a herbal knife, cut out the little green spot on top of the tomato (small hole)
• Cut a cross in the bottom of the tomato
• Take a pot & fill it with water

• When the water is boiling, then jump the tomatoes in the pot
• Have a big bowl with ice cold water beside you

• Immediately dump the tomatoes into the ice cold water
• Take them up, and peel all the skin off
• Dice the tomatoes, and store in a big bowl

Tomato sauce:

• Add basil & stir until it has collapsed

• Let it all simmer on medium/low heat with a lid on for 15 minutes.
• Take the lid off, and simmer for 30 minutes – Stir once in a while, to be sure it does not burn

  ⌈Read below, how I do⌋

⇒ Preservation

I preserve, in a natural way, as I really want to avoid things in my food that is bad for me & my body.
It works perfectly & let your food stay fresh for a long time – And yes, you can feed it to your children.
There is not alcohol in your food, the jars are just fast washed with it.

I do this:

• I begin with scalding the jars in hot water
• Then I turn on the oven, on 50 degrees (upper & lower heat)
• I put the jars on a dishtowel (on a bakingplate) and put it in the middle of the oven
• After 15, take it out
• Pour a bit rum in one of the jars and close the lid
• Shake it all around, and por the rum into the next jar.
  Continue the procedure & at last pour the rum in the zink
• Pour in the tomato sauce, put on the lid & store in the fridge (Whilie it’s all still warm)
