Winter Tomato Sauce

Hello Dear Friends,

Winter preparations are in full swing. The red peppers were roasted, sorted and took their place in the freezer. While we were in Muğla, we prepared our winter tomatoes with my aunt. When making tomato sauce or tomato paste, mostly Çanakkale tomatoes are used. The reason for this is that it is less juicy and more meaty.

We prepared 5 kilos again for the blog, but in total more than 20 kilos of tomato sauce were made. The reason for this is that it is much easier to prepare an average of 5 kilograms. If you want to prepare more tomato sauce, you can do it with 5 kg and multiples.

Remember, you have to fill the jars while the tomatoes are very hot for vacuuming. You can use a towel or oven mitts to avoid burning your hands. After tightly closing the jars, turn them upside down and leave them overnight.

You can use the sauces you have prepared in all recipes where you use tomatoes. Pasta with tomato sauce is especially delicious.

If you want to prepare menemenlik You can find the recipes here.

Love…
