Use this recipe to preserve your tomato harvest! You can freeze the sauce in wide-mouth quart mason jars. However, if you'd like to make a smaller batch you can cut this recipe into thirds. Use about 6 to 7 pounds of tomatoes and one large onion. I like to use a 12-quart stock pot when making this sauce. I use a food processor to mince the onions and garlic. Then I process about a third of the tomatoes in it as well. This leaves some of the tomatoes a little chunky. Use a blender or Vitamix to puree the remaining tomatoes. Once the sauce has cooked down to the consistency you like, taste it and add more sea salt as needed.
