Tomatoes are one of the most common vegetables all over the world. They are quickly growing plants and are favorite among most amateur gardeners so as me.
I will start to grow tomatoes in my farm and now learning watever i can about them, thanks for information. I also
found another good site about tomatoes and so many other methods of agriculturing, i recommend you to take a look.

I’m reading! Thanks, TDR. The bay leaf should be removed before pureeing with a food processor or an immersion blender.

This is an old post, but if anyone is still reading… you should probably steer away from using an immersion blender if you’ve got bay leaves in there…

loving this website Hannah.

Thanks, Aryeh for your sweet comment. Canned tomatoes are about 8-900 g, but I don’t have any cans to check for sure. The tomato paste is 580 grams. For this recipe using inexact amounts still work, and after you try it once you can adjust for next time.

Shalom Hannah.

Thank you for a site that endeavors to simplify the cooking experience. Getting tired of the pretentious.

Reading your recipes takes me back to childhood memories of my Bobba, and her wonderful cooking on a coal fired stove, and of my Zeider taking a chicken to the Scheichet on a friday.

Please could you indicate the can sizes (mass) for this recipe? If you only have the values in ‘quarts’ or ‘ounces’ I can convert, no problem at all.

Our small cans of tomato paste are 170g. Larger tomato paste are 140g. Tomato puree cans are 410g, as is our average can of, say baked beans. Some cans, for e.g crushed pineapple, are 460g. Larger cans for jam (jelly) are 900g

I know South African tomato sauce but it is obvious that ‘American tomato sauce’ means something else.

Please help.

Kind regards

Aryeh

Yum. I second what Ilana-Davita says, although I actually find I end up reading cookbooks on fast days.

And the jar stuff always has added sugar – I bet if the tomatoes were fresh enough, they would add their own natural sweetness.

Thanks for answering my Q about homemade sauce. Your recipe sounds easy and delicious- and so much cheaper and healthier than the stuff they sell in jars. I’ll bet some basil would be good in that, too.

I am not sure posting about such an enticing sauce is allowed on a fast day.
