Grandma Cayo's Tomato Sauce

8/31/2018

This year I have taken gardening to a whole new level. Because harvest season has been in full force, I have been freezing herbs, fruits and vegetable. The hope is that I can make it through until next harvest season. I was very excited to try this recipe, but of course I have a hard time using a recipe without adding something to it. So I guess really this should be Grandma Cayo's Tomato Sauce with a twist. It's very easy to make, tastes delicious, and I have been using it in everything: a chip and dip sauce I make, over pasta, in curry dishes, etc. I freeze this in 2 cup portions in freezer bags so that I can lay it flat and not use up too much valuable freezer space. Anything that can make dinners easier is a win for me.







1 cup               Zucchini, grated
1                      Onion, chopped
6                      Tomatoes, Large, chopped
2                      Carrots, Large, chopped
4                      Garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 Tbsp          Sugar
1/2- 1 Tbsp    Salt (I used spicy Herbamare). 
1 tsp                Pepper
1 handful        Parsley, chopped


1. Add to large pot, bring to a low simmer.
2. Simmer until tomatoes are breaking down and carrot is soft.
3. Let cool, blend with blender (I use a hand blender).
4. Freeze in small portions, ready for use.
