Ever since we started a garden, we haven’t bought tomato sauce. It tastes so much better when it is fresh. To make it as convenient as canned sauce, we freeze large batches into individual portions so we have access to healthy tomato sauce all year round. If you do not finish all of this sauce within a couple of days, freeze the leftovers.
This recipe doesn’t take much time to make at all because you just throw most of the ingredients into a blender. You can just sit back and relax while the sauce cooks down.
