directions

  • Drop the tomatoes into boiling water, a few at a time.
  • Let the water return to a boil, then remove the tomatoes and drain.
  • Peel and chop.
  • In a large saucepan, cook the onion, celery, and carrots in the olive oil, covered, over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring a few times.
  • Uncover and stir, over the heat, for 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until the vegetables are very soft and lightly gold.
  • Add the tomatoes, sugar, and pepper and simmer gently, covered, for 15 minutes.
  • Puree the sauce through the medium disc of food mill.
  • Add the optional seasoning and cook at a bare simmer until a desirable consistency is reached, about 20 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • If you prefer a smooth sauce, work the sauce through the fine disc of a food mill.
  • Cool the sauce and refrigerate it.
  • It will keep, refrigerated, for about a week, or for several months if frozen.
