 So today I had 4 nice vine tomatoes just hanging out on my kitchen counter. When suddenly I remembered a cooking show I saw recently at the gym. (Yes I know watching cooking shows while working out is rather ridiculous.) Anyway, I remember it seemed simple and it looked delicious so I decided to just make my own version. Let me tell you this will be a regular at my house…especially when summer comes and we are bombarded with fresh tomatoes.

How I make roasted tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes

First you need a few ripe tomatoes. This is great when you are bombarded with fresh tomatoes from the garden but you can also use tomatoes from the store.

    This is a great recipe for the “not so perfect” tomatoes at the market at a reduced price : )
    I actually put mine in my vitamix so the skins and seeds would be more incorporated. Smoother texture but still nice and thick.

      I love my vitamix! Great idea!

    Hi, I wanted to ask if I could use this as a sauce for pizza too?

    • Denise

      Hi Andrea, I don’t see why not. I might not be smooth enough but you could use a hand blender or something and make it smoother. Good luck and I hope you like it!

    I had a lot of small tomatoes and dreaded peeling them to make tomato sauce. I saw this recipe, read the reviews, and thought I’d give it a try. It is amazing! The house smells delicious and this is my go to recipe for tomato sauce every time!

      So glad you like it Sarah! I wish we had that many tomatoes in our garden as they have been so tasty this year. However we haven’t gotten many. Enjoy!

      How did you save your sauce? Did you can it or just refrigerate it. This sounds so easy, but I have so many tomatoes I’m not sure how to preserve it.

      Thanks for any help you can give me

        Kathy, I send the response below to one of the other readers and thought it might help you just in case Sarah doesn’t see your post.

    Hi, so I have a ton of fresh tomatoes and I would love to try this recipe however my tomatoes have pretty tough skin. Should I remove the tough skins before proceeding with this recipe? Also, can I use any variety. I have cherry, early girls, and beef steak.

    Reply

    • Denise

      Hi Kammi, I think you can use any variety you want. If they are really tough then you might want to take off the skins, however the tomatoes might just turn to mush and stick. Could you roast them with the skins on and see if you can peel them off before you mash them? That way you can keep them in tact and they might come off easily. Or you can just peel off the ones that seem hard.

      Sorry I’m not more help. Hope it turns out for you!

    Can you can this be canned? What might need to be adjusted?

    Making this now. Had a flat of tomatoes that need to be used up (some were starting to go bad), and what better way! They are in the oven now, and looking forward to the scent as they roast, and the taste. I used quite a bit more “Italian” herbs, and some crushed red pepper, because I like a strong, slightly spicy, sauce. Will add some fresh basil near the end as well. Can’t wait!!
    Thanks for sharing…

    What about the skins? Can this be canned?

      Hi Sharon, you can see the skins in the photo. They were not off-putting to us. And I don’t see why you couldn’t can this. Hope that was a little help.

    For some reason the link to your Bloody Mary infused Vodka, is misspelled. It’s showing up as “Bloddy”.

    I also watch cooking shows on the treadmill. What better motivation to keep going than seeing what that calorie deficit might earn you? “20 more minutes and I can eat some ice cream!”

    I’ve made a similar recipe. I’ve roasted poblano peppers, tomatoes, onion and garlic together. Great for chili.

    Can this be frozen?

      Hi Meg,
      I don’t see why this can’t be frozen. I have never done that but I freeze a lot of things and I can’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t work.
      Hope that helps!

    My tomatoes just sprouted up the other day, only a few more months until I can make this with my own homegrown tomatoes. I can’t wait.
