Turn your frozen homegrown tomatoes into an aromatic, garden-fresh sauce any time of the year with this easy recipe explaining How To Make Sauce From Frozen Tomatoes.
– Frozen Tomatoes – Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Garlic – Basil – Crushed Red Pepper
Gather and prep all ingredients. Defrost and prepare the tomatoes. Once you defrost the tomatoes, their skins will slide off very easily.
Remove and discard all skins and also cut off and discard the cores if the tomatoes still have them.
Simply hand crush the tomatoes, which should be very easy to do. DO NOT DISCARD THE TOMATO WATER!
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the olive oil and/or butter, garlic, basil and crushed red pepper over medium low heat and cook until the garlic has softened (about 5 minutes).
Move the garlic mixture over to one side of the pot and add the tomato paste. Caramelize it for 1 to 2 minutes.
