In this video I show you how I make a delicious Tomato Sauce from tomatoes. This Italian tomato passata sauce made from fresh garden tomatoes can be made in less than an hour using this traditional method. This sauce is very versatile and can be used in any recipe that calls for fresh marinara sauce. It will keep for a week in the fridge or can be frozen. I will also show you how I can my sauce using the boiling water method for use all winter long. Nothing beats fresh tomato sauce from the garden! It truly is the taste of summer.

Tomatoes - as many as you can get.
Cut out cores and blemishes and add to a pot.
Cook on low-medium heat until it comes to a boil. Check often to prevent burning on the bottom. Once it comes to a boil, let it simmer for 10 minutes. Drain off the clear tomato water using a colander and then process your tomatoes with a food mill or strainer to remove the skins and seeds from the pulp.
Season with salt and fresh basil and simmer for 10-15 minutes. If it is too runny, cook longer to reduce.

    This process is very similar to the recipe I’ve used for 50+ years. A suggestion: the drained water contains much of the natural sugars and acids that makes tomatoes yummy. Removing it from the sauce permanently diminishes the sauce’s flavor. So after setting aside the pulp I place the juice in a large flat, non-corrosive pan such as a stainless or nonstick frying pan, and rapidly boil it down to the consistency of thin catsup. I add that back into the pulp just before canning. It makes a very noticeable improvement to the sauce’s flavor.

    I love my hand crank mill, passed on from my grandmother, it makes the best applesauce texture as well!!!
  • Hey there! I use passata almost daily and never made it myself. I would love to use garden fresh tomatoes like you did! This must be heavenly with pasta or even bread. Well done here, loved it!
  • @RoseBornagain

    That sauce is beautiful. Thank you for the awesome tutorial. I just got a food mill today and it's a workout, lol.
  • @Jonnynot1plate
    Great stuff. I'm always a sucker for vine tomatoes. I'll definitely try growing my own next season along with cherry tomatoes

    That is amazing! I just zero-scaped my property and am looking to planter grow Romas' in a nice sunny location. Tomatoes and a few herbs will be the focus, landscape has sage. Studied food mills for passata and this seems best way. Bought an OXO mill today and look forward to giving it many uses. Thanks for bringing out your old tool to show how good they are. Sunny Tomatoes!
