As I have a fairly large garden I have an abundance of tomatoes throughout the summer. I do make my own tomato sauce or what I call spaghetti sauce. I purchased a tomato peeler with a motor so I don't have to go thru the process of blanching to get the peel off. This machine will remove the seeds and peel for me. Of course I like mine chunky so I do blanch the Roma tomatoes, skin them and then remove the seeds which I then throw into the machine to get the last of the pulp. I also make salsa too. I don't have a recipe per se but just throw in red & green peppers, onions, garlic, spices, etc and then cook it down till its as thick as I'd like. Then I can it and put it thru the pressure canner process. Its time consuming but oh so good when you want a jar of it later in the winter time. I only have to do this every other summer as my batches will normally last me 2 years. I keep the extra down in the basement in a cool area.
