This Homemade Garden Tomato Sauce is more flavorful than any jar sauce you will find!
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 lbs, peeled, seeded, & diced tomatoes
- 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions
- To peel tomatoes, bring a large pot of water to boil
- Slice an x on the bottom of each tomato
- When the water starts boiling, drop the tomatoes in the water and blanch for 1-2 minutes (or until the skin starts to crack)
- Quickly remove the tomatoes from the water and place in a bowl of ice cold water
- Remove and the skins will come right off
- Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds, then dice them.
- Heat the oil over medium heat and add the diced onions
- After the onions start to brown, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds
- Add the tomatoes, diced spices, salt, and sugar and bring to a boil.

- This is a chunky sauce, but if you prefer something smoother sauce, you can puree it
- Stir in the fresh herbs and allow to cool
- Reheat when ready to use
