Tomato sauce recipe.

tomatoes

First I cook the tomatoes in their own juices. This was when I took them off, after about thirty minutes.

garlic and tomato

Pass the tomatoes through a food mill to get rid of most of the skins.  Fry the garlic, add the tomatoes and other ingredients .  Cook on low for an hour and a half.  I let it cool and freeze it in deli pint jars.

They are organic early girls.  They were a dollar a pound at the market, I asked the guy if he’d take five bucks for ten pounds of ones that were soft or split, but no mold, and he agreed.  I made this the day after.

Oyster mushrooms

mushrooms

Oyster mushrooms from Watsonville.  The man who sells them came from Vietnam on a twenty foot boat with 150 people on it.   The mushrooms grow in hothouses.  The tomato in back is the biggest I’ve grown so far.
