Tomato Harvest

What beautiful gifts from the garden these are. Each has its own flavor and of course each has a vibrant color. The red ones came from my garden (lucky I found the worm in time). The rest came from a gorgeous farm in Carlsbad. I collected these so that I could make a yummy roasted tomato sauce. I hope you will try it.

Roasted Tomato Sauce:

Makes 3-3 1/2 cups

3 pounds fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 large red onion, sliced
1/2 cup whole fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Place all the ingredients in a roasting pan & toss to combine. Transfer to the oven & cook until the tomato skins are charred & sauce has begun to come together, about 1 hour. Coarsely chop the tomatoes & onion, taking care to scrape up pan juices.
Serve immediately, or cover & refrigerate up to 3 days.

I do not know the original source of this recipe.
