An Easier Way to Make Homemade Tomato Sauce
Since it is impossible to find a food mill for a reasonable price here, I used to press my boiled tomatoes through a strainer. This was very messy. Then I realized that there was probably an easier way. I thought it would be a risk because if you boil tomatoes for too long, they will melt into the water. So I added a few minutes, bringing them to a boil, and then turning down the heat, and letting them simmer until they looked like they were going to fall apart.
Then, with a slotted spoon, I transferred them to a bowl, and peeled each one, and crushed them with a regular old mashed potato mashing weapon.
This turned out to be a lot easier and a whole lot less messy than pressing them through a strainer. It tastes just the same, and isn’t any wetter. I’m very happy with the results.
